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.

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?
