Sorry for the delay in posting, it gets a bit hectic here at times.
A great weekend was had by all. There was a couple of light showers, nothing to stop proceedings. For the club first Trad shoot, all I can do is add to the accolades.
There were 3 ranges - Range 1 was ABA coloured targets 3 arrow round (diminishing score) plus the Running Pig, Range 2 was the old style ABA paper targets with the kill/wound area only marked and this was shot as a 2 arrow round (both 1st arrow score), Range 3 was all 3D targets also a 3 arrow round (diminishing score). Plus a 1 minute Hunt Round moving from spot to spot and a static 1 minute speed round, which we were not used to and having double time does not necessarily equate to double score total. These two events were shot with Range 2 and/or 3. We selected our own groups, handed back the scorecards to be allocated a target and range to start on. From that point we were free to choose which range to shoot next, as long as we did one of the novelties with each range. The club has certainly stamped their mark on this trad shoot. The club is relative new and they took a chance on the word of a couple of people that archers would come for the weekend, and have done a remarkable job. For those who didn't make it the weather wasn't as bad as predicted and I'm glad we made the journey, so we can tell everyone to join us them all again next year. Top Job and Well Done. Thank you Granite Belt Archers for a most enjoyable weekend.
