Well it's history now, all over great weekend with some good folk, great food (burgers the size of a castle :wink: ) and lots of laughs.

There a tonne of pics on the faceache page that the boys have put up for anyone who uses that stuff, and I'll try and pic some of the cream out and post them up here in the next few days.

Should be some good video around also if things worked according to the plans of one fella, he taped a Go-pro to the runnig boar..........and it survived, so hopefully the footage is good.

I don't think Adam will mind as he isn't a member of Ozbow (we enlightened him on the weekend) so he will be shortly. Her is a post he made on the Ballarat thread on the Bowhunting Forum. I think we can all only endorse his remarks

Cheers


Today 02:11 AM #9

Well our trad shoot has come and gone and a great time was had by all. I would personally like to thank all our club members for their outstanding efforts. Wayne and Tyler for helping me set out and construct the 3d and the creek course, quite a few positive comments about the layout and the creek course should be pretty challenging for the two day ABA shoot later in Feb. Woody the catering master who is there organizing everything from early on Friday right threw to Sunday arvo. As well as the ladies , Leanne, Rhonda and Summer for their outstanding efforts and delicious donated food and Craig for all his help in the kitchen too.
John Sexton for sorting out all the money and receipts and the kids for selling the raffle tickets.
I would also like to thank all the people who donated goods for the raffle table. There was some cracking things on offer and most people left with something.
Lastly a BIG THANK YOU to all the people who attended and made the day what it was, plenty of new faces and lots of the old characters. I hope you all enjoyed the shoot .
Cheers Adam Parker, President of the Ballarat Bowhunters.

Gezzzzzzzz that was a great outing. Top effort guys for A1 food and A1 organization. So good to see the old hacks again. Kahuna's oratory... Marathon mans energy.. Tone's sense of Justice... Tezza's craft and music.. Dezzi's malfunctioning volume knob.....The resurface of Mick and Timm.....Simmo's need for a probiotic :lol: and..... finally getting to see Geoff's legendary Walter Doane "Bo" Randalls blades. Would not have missed this for quids.
Take a bow Ballarat Bow Hunters for furthering the cause of followship and fun.
