Hi All

We are looking at putting faces to names on the site. We would like some photos of you shooting your bow or with your equipment (bow, etc.) or with you and game taken, etc. And you do not mind the phot being displayed.

We would to display a members photo once a month on the site. Here is your chance at fame. :D

Please email photos to Admin thanks.

Regards
Admin.

Grahame,

Just a suggestion. Does the site generate number of posts for each user? If so how about you start at the most active user and tell 'em it their turn! That way you might gather up the shy ones too and get the ball rolling!

Just a reminder folks that we are still after photos for our front page. We would like to change the photo regularly so if you have a photo of you and some game taken or with your equipment please consider emailing it to me.

It doesn't have to be a huge trophy animal, it can be of you and your equipment at the range or out in the bush or even a photo of you and a mate/s with your gear.

If you do send a photo to me please give a few details of your equipment and if it is with game taken maybe some info of where and when etc.

Don't be shy, I think this is a good way for us to get to know each other here on Ozbow.

Thanks

Jeff

C'on fellas/ladies, how about sending me some photos for our front page. We would like to rotate the front page photo more regularly but can't if you don't share some photos with us.

So, how about it?

front page photos

Hey Jeff,

here is one of my favourite photos from the recent Geelong Archers - Great Southern Traditional tournament, that might be suitable for a front page photo, it captures the fantastic atmosphere of a whole bunch of trad shooters, from all over Australia coming together in the spirit of fun and friendship that is the hall mark of traditional archery.

It is of the castle clout line all at full draw and loosing. If only you could have heard the sound of 60+ bows all loosing at once! Very exciting!
