Arrows are up to the individual, we are a pretty laid back bunch that don't really care about the politics , we just want to fling arrows with others that enjoy the same ...............and have a good laugh

NICE, look forward to some good yarns

[mikaluger]

I might have to make this my first shoot, and make some new friends!!!!

[CraigH]

Should be some different novelty shoots as well.

[CraigH]

For some people who are undecided about whether to attend the Ballarat Trad Shoot because of maybe holidays and family commitments, bring them along for a great holiday.

Ballarat has some great tourist attractions, like Soveriegn Hill, Ballarat Reptile and Wildlife Park. For the history buffs there is the Gold museum and Eureka stockade, just to name a few. Also plenty of shops and cafes in town.

Oh, did I mention some great fishing with plenty of lakes within 25 min drive. And the famous Lake Wendouree in the heart of Ballarat, great for a BBQ with the family and wet a line.

So why not take the family along for a holiday while you have a shot, or better yet, give them a bow and get the family involved in the Ballarat trad shoot.

Cheers.

I'll be there... Be good to meet a few more trad shooters

[Roadie]

I see the temp is expeted to be in the 40 degrees this weekend at Ballaratt, here's hoping it will be cooler next weekend.
Will the shoot go ahead if the temp is above 35 degrees Plus. The reason I ask is Ballaratt is an ABA club, and the ABA does have a policy that if the temp is expected to rise above that, the shoot is to be scheudle to another time. Will this happen, or does the shoot go ahead regardless. Cheers Roadie.

[Trad Bound]

Roadie 35 degrees would be a winters day in Mildura. I bet you would be happy with that today.
Take care
Tony

[Roadie]

Hi Tony, at this time under the Back Porch at my place the temp guage is showing 42 degrees centigrade, thats 102 degrees farenheight. Yep it sure is warm. Cheers Roadie.

[Trad Bound]

How is the weather and where are the fires in relation to the shoot.
cheers tony

[Roadie]

Just checking Folks, Radio reports Homes lost in Snake Valley Fire, Haddon area. What impact does that have on your shoot. As its a 460 klm trip one way for me. I don't mind the traveling, but to get there and find the fires have caused you to cancell would be a shame. Cheers Roadie.

[wal]

No impact Roadie, fire was well to the north west of the ground , all is fine.

Cheers

[Roadie]

Thanks for the update Wal, still it's a bloody tradgy all the same, Homes & stock loss, ETC. My thoughts are with everyone who has been affected in one way or another. Cheers Roadie.

[wal]

Agree there whole heartedly mate, never been through it and can't begin to imagine what those people feel.

[Trad Bound]

What time tomorrow is start time as I plan to come up in the morning, more to the point what time is breakfast till. Cheers tony

[wal]

Start time around the 9 - 930 Tony, always make a spot for you (suck suck), I'll let Gaston the Chef (aka) Woody know there is one on the way possibly a little later.

Cheers
