Morning Grant, picked up your Hinterland Bowmen Patch and Hatpin Mate. I also have your Razor Raffle Bow, very generous of Bob and it looks Very Noice, will be buying a ticket or 2.

Been a bit busy of late, sorry I forgot to ring for a chat !

I've been watching the Weather and it looks looks like its been a bit milder. Not too Cold at all. The New England looks as if it's been Colder ! Still will be geared up for the Cold. Even packed a Raincoat !

Gary P and I are leaving SOON 8) :biggrin: for a Hunt at Mingoola for a day or 2 depending on the Game, spoke to a Mate who Hunts nearby yesterday and he said the Country looks good, lots of Pigs Goats and Deer spotted last week so with any luck he's scared the Game onto the block we Hunt so we'll have a Venison, Goat or Pork Rib Fillet to Share over a Honey Bourbon when we arrive next Thursday

I'm on my way at 3am tomorrow, I should get to the club just before dark, as long as the wife doesn't stop at to many wineries. :shock:

Quail & Rabbit in a honey mustard sauce, washed down with a great Red (Local of course), and a Single Malt to finish the night off, that's a good night. Cheers Roadie.

Well Folks the Party is Over. The Shoot went well, around 40 Archers for our First shoot.
The grounds are empty now, Greybeard & John left at 0230hrs this morning, Red Kev & Stringstick along with Trad bound & Pink Professor, along with Perry & Garry hit the road at a more reasonable time.
There will be photos on soon.
AND Guess WHAT, It's on again, 30/31st of August 2014. So make you Plans now. Cheers Roadie.

Thanks for great weekend Roadie. Plenty of targets shot.
The weather was perfect.

It was fun for our northern neighbours to venture so far south to Mexico.

I am looking forward to another great shoot next weekend at Lilydale.

Watchout professor! You better have those pretty pink fletches of yours all preened and manicured. lol
