Here!Here!!
What a great week end :mrgreen:
Hanging for the next one.

We even knocked about for a bit more of a bash at the Field from targets 11-20 (When the majority had left) Nick Linter, Owen Mcarthy, Nathan77, Andy Firth and my son Duncan, not to mention a couple of new faced for a "Heckling shoot" which was a real hoot. No one goes untouched and My carbon arrows always come under fire :mrgreen: :razz: :lol:

The best quality Camaraderie and a surprisingly high ratio of entire families, from all over the state and interstate.

Thanks Robert and all who made it worth the effort every time to come along, had a Great week end! :mrgreen:

What can One say, the Gathering was a HOOT. The Best Fun one can have carrying a stick with a piece of string and some arrows. It was great to catch up with everybody, this is one shoot I will pencil in for the years ahead of me. To my shooting companions, little john 59, jean the Hornmaster and his friend George, it was a pleasure to shoot with you, hope to do it again next year. Hazard it was great to catch up with you again, pity about the whisky, only seeing it last one night, not a good move. Still we didn't go thirsty Ay. To everyone who helped in any way what so ever, A BIG Thanks for a ripper of a SHOOT. Cheers Roadie.

Wow..... What a great event.....!!!!

A big thank you to Rob and all the crew that made this event possible... It was truly one to remember... Not only did we see plenty of new faces and loads of juniors.... We had perfect weather for all to enjoy.... :mrgreen:
The Challenge round was a big hit for me..... It really test out your nerve and it is in my opinion the closest thing to a real life hunting situation... 8)

Thanks again... I cant wait until next year...!!!

Cheers Guy.... :biggrin:
