There is no use focusing on aiming if you don't execute the shot well enough to hit what your are aiming at.

Sorry you can't make it Roadie. Hope it goes well.

I will have to ask Adam if Sir Bucket Head will be there again. Yeah it was a fun target to shoot, and I liked the story about William Tell that went with it.

Just got home. What an enjoyable weekend! The Ballarat Bowhunters have done an absolutely fantastic job once again. The targets were well laid out and it was very well organised from start to finish. The people slaving away in the kitchen really outdid themselves. The food was absolutely delicious and ridiculously cheap . All the members were helpful and pleasant. Thanks people!

It was also lovely to catch up will my old mates as well meeting a few new ones. :mrgreen:
