Here's a photo I want to share with you. It's my son, taken at the Geelong Longbow Challenge, his very first tournament.

That's his arrow in the score zone. Everyone else's arrows pretty well missed, so it was a difficult target.

White Hawk (aka Gavin) took the photo. 8)

There is no use focusing on aiming if you don't execute the shot well enough to hit what your are aiming at.

A great picture Mick...that will be one to treasure. Downhill and in the zone not a easy shot for sure. Top effort .

Great Pics Morgan, glad you guys had a good day - it was a long way to come. Thanks to the many people who gave helpful advice to the novice shooters too. It's pretty scary when you're just starting out and surrounded by top shooters, but you Geelong and Leongatha people were really encouraging. Can't wait for the Kryal day now :D
