I do a fursuit trick shot every @furlifenw.bsky.social When Furballs Strike event, where I bowl one shot blind between the legs of a fursuiter.

I have missed my last few but threw a literal perfect strike with my 🦁 friend @rialto.bsky.social!

What a way to cap off an unforgettable #WFS56 furbowl 🥳
