I'll Be there and looking forward to seeing everyone again, this year with lots of arrows and pre-finished shafts for sale along with Necklaces that my wonderful Girlfriend made, this will be her first Gathering this year!. Also any chance on reserving a spot for the camper trailer to setup on the flat Trish? As as the Old hard floor cub Doesn't do to well if it twists and torques.

At thou's only beating heart.
To pierce thy flesh,
to kill this beast.
Tis the hunters sacred art.

Morning


Yes...only 1 set of novelties...because we are getting a lot of archers attending the shoot & it's putting pressure on them to get it completed over the 2 days....

We want our visitors to feel relaxed & not stressing in trying to complete the shoot.

We want our visitors to enjoy themselves.

A very Big Thank you to the Newcastle Family for putting on a Great Week End.
The Gods smiled and there was little rain.
Good to catch up with the rest of the Traditional family from Queensland, Victoria and New South Wales.

What a great weekend to catch up with all the long distance friends.

As Nick & Trish said, the weather gods really looked after us this year.

It was clear the course and events had a great deal of thought put into it. The agenda freed up an extraordinary amount of time for people to re-shoot different ranges at their leisure in groups of all shapes and sizes which really drew attention to what the spirit of what these events are all about.

A giant thanks to HVTA and everyone else who made it an exceptional event.

Though I don't do Facebook.

Indeed. Thanks to everyone involved for the effort in putting this event together. I had great fun despite the downer of losing it on Range 2 and buggering up my score for the weekend. I'll also say a big thanks on behalf on my girlfriend Cecilia and my mate Howard Taylor (neither of them do Ozbow). They had a great weekend too.

Can't wait for the Specs Shoot.

Cheers,

Andy

Hope you are feeling better now Trish!

It was a great weekend, the new format was so much more relaxed, it left plenty of time for everyone to catch up.

Will the scores be going on here?
