NAFA 2007


Well, this has been an exciting week. The Thursday before we left for NAFA, Katana hit her ideal weight. Krys took her out while I was out of town picking up publications for THA at 920 grams, and she was on. After several flights she nailed bunny #4 for the season. Keeping this in mind, we traveled the 10 hours to Colorado for the annual NAFA meet in Alamosa. Keeping her within her ideal weight we headed out. The first few days I had trouble putting game under her. When I did, however she pursued diligently. She had several awesome flights on white-tailed jacks with no success, but finally landed a 3 lb cotton-tail on Wednesday. Friday I put the most game under her that I had been able to find, but unfortunately, my little girl was freaked out by the snow that had fallen the night before. So, we packed it up and headed home. I took her out again in the rain today, and she had 4 good flights before I called her in, soaking wet and ready to rest. I had a GREAT time at the NAFA meet, made some new friends and spent time with old ones. I am SO glad that I went, and foresee this to be an annual occurrence. Next weekend we will head up to Dave's place in Oklahoma and fly her on some black-tail jacks. I am excited, as he has told me that the rabitat up there is great!!
