Nth Albert Shoot - Day 2

#1 Post by GrahameA » Sun Apr 08, 2007 5:18 pm

Good Afternoon / Evening All

For Day 1 go here:

Only a few photos but I am certain many others will add to them.

Another great day. The Sunday format was much the same as Saturday with two rounds in the morning and then the Single Arrow Shootoff and the Hawkeye in the afternoon.

The two rounds had the targets in the same place but the shooting position was changed.

As usual it was Dayle and Lorraine plus Gary (Hotshot) and myself. Gayle was off at another event.

As per yesterday my first arrow missed the target and hit the log above it - breaking in two. On the good news front I was to get my lost arrow from yesterday back later in the day - "Woo Hoo" and "Thank You".

Lunch was excellent - the Hamburgers were superb.

The single arrow shootoff was won by Dale. Good shooting there.

The Hawkeye was a different story with only one person making it to the second round. Then failing to take the money. So that will be a few more dollars in the pot for the Gladstone shoot.

All in all it was a great weekend and I had a great time.

***************
Re Photos.

There are photos of everyone adult except the last shooter in the Single Arrow Shootoff and everyone one in the Hawkeye. Plus a lot more than what is on here.

Nth Albert has a complete set of photos so talk to them nicely if you want a copy.

I will see if I can do a mass upload somewhere so people can see them all.

%$*()&#@ Left Handed Shooters.  Do they have any idea how hard it to get across the range with crowd yelling comments about moving targets.  :-)

Once again, some nice photos there Grahame. :wink:

It is interesting to look at everyone's form in the full draw shots. It's no surprise when you see who the winners turn out to be, they're invariably the shooters with the best looking form. 8) It appears everyone is having a great time though.

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

A huge thankyou to the North Albert crew for putting on a top shoot , the courses were very good with no targets over 30 yards though a few smaller targets looked like it [ I 11 ringed that 30 yard coyote - talk about B/S shots ] plenty of logs /brush and other obsticles to wipe out the gap shooters and force you into contorted shooting positions had a good time cathing up with folks I havn't seen in a while over a Tooheys old or ten . Thanks for the photo's Grahame . regards Perry

Hi dwd,
I will try to download the info from the data base and convert it to a suitable format for the site.
