met some of the very keen Manning Valley archers at Coffs this weekend and they are looking forward to their Trad shoot and I hope those in Sydney (approx. 3 hours drive) and Newcastle (approx. 2 hours drive) are able to support them.

only 33 sleeps to go :biggrin:

Had a great weekend at the Coffs Trad Shoot. We are now flat out preparing for our Trad Shoot at the Manning. Spent Saturday pulling out lantana and clearing the landing area for the arrows for the Bow Bird and Flu Flu Clout Shoot. This is an extremely exciting time for us being our first two day Trad Shoot. Hope to see as many of you there as possible.
Cheers Glen

Hi guys we have had 3 prenoms so far,1 from Walcha, 1 from Gunnedah,and 1 from Wingham. Some word of mouth possibles are 2 or more? from Coffs, 2 from Sydney? are you coming still Andy, 1 from Cooroy and 1 or more from Macksville. Hopefully we will get some more than that. No one from Hunter as yet but you never know your luck. The flyer has been downloaded 43 times so hopefully we get that many fun loving archers. I did hear a rumour Samick Steve is going to shoot in a tutu if Caveman Karl wears his caveman suit. That should be interesting. Cheers Pocahontas

Hi guys just a thought on the shoot this weekend. It turns out that Andrews wife and daughters will be there at the shoot on saturday so i thought we might do something special to start the shoot. Im hoping you can all bring a whistling arrow so we can have a whistling arrow salute in honour of Andrews memory to start the event. What do you think? Cheers Glen
