Many thanks go to Rob and Di and all those that assisted to make the weekend another fabulous trad event.
Had a great time from the archery perspective and certainly the social perspective.
Myself Les, and Wayne shot the field with 3 guys from the Maydaan Archery Club.
This club specialises in Turkish and Asiatic style "horsebows" based at Leppington NSW and what a great bunch of guys to shoot with.
We had many laughs as well as the serious shooting stuff and to see these guys in action with these, what i always called, little bows was quite incredible both from the speed of the bow and the speed at which the guys could nock and fire arrows.
If you are down that way on a sunday check them out they are very welcoming friendly folk.
A group of us got to talking to Amee Karat (i think he is the club pres) on saturday night about their club and about the archery style and particularly Turkish archery and its history and Amee is a living encyclopaedia on the subject and more than happy to pass on skills and knowledge of it.
I have pasted their FB page link below.
