Sunday afternoon, Man what a Hoot this shoot was. The Folks who arganised this Shoot, Pat yourselfs on your Backs. Congratulations to you All. The Weather Gods were kind to us, the courses were Great, animals in scrub, which caused the arrows to fly in all directions foxes in logs, the poor deer which was being ravaged by a brown bear,( a classic shot). For your first Trad Shoot it was brilliant. This to me is a must do shoot. It was great to catch up with so many friends and be able to share a drink and put Faces to names from the OZ Bow mob. Will definately be back again, and photos will appear of this shoot from other people. WELL DONE GYMPIE. Cheers Roadie.

Great to meet Roadie in person,chain mail and all. Also catch up with some of the regulars like Terry zac from this site and meet new ones. For a first Trad shoot by host club it was a terrific success and next year can only get even better.Mark it on your calendar.

I think there is nothing I can add to the above posts, Shan and I had a great time, great friends, new friends and flinging sticks. The club it's organizers, volunteers and members involved should be proud a great event on the calendar will be there next year unless something untoward should thwart my plans.

To all we got to shoot with and catch up with thanks for making the Trad shoots what they are as well.


Just going to test out my raffle win.(two handles).........ksssshhhhh

What an absolutely fabulous weekend. It all ran pretty smoothly for their first Trad shoot ever, heaps of arrows were shot at many many events.
Made new friends and it was great to catch up with everyone again too.
To those who weren't able to make it, you missed a really good shoot.
Many thanks to Gympie Field Archers for making the shoot the success that it was.
This shoot is one of many, not to be missed, so make sure you all mark your calenders for next years event.

cheers to all :smile:

To all the guy's at the Gympie club, Ditto, Ditto, Ditto. Sue and I had a great time. The whole lot of you are great company and thanks to Tom Terry and Zac, it was a pleasure to shoot with you. Watch out for Zac in the coming years, he is going to be one top notch archer.
Sue and I will certainly put next years event in our calender.
I would love to be an expert, but experience and lack of knowledge holds me back!
