Hi All
Just wondering who will be going to the Barebow Challenge at Wisemans Ferry on the first and Second of September.
Hope I will get to meet a few fellow Ozbowers in person -- It would be great to put some faces to the names.

Hi Graeme,
As you know I will be there! Just some background on the shoot!
It was started back in 2004 at Liverpool City Archers in Sydney. Run for two years on their grounds until they ran out of space. Too many archers attending! It is now held at Hawkesbury Field Archers in Wisemans Ferry NSW. This will be the second year. The shoot was started as an inter club shoot between HVTA and Liverpool City. Kind of a mix between target and hunting club events. It soon grew to be more than this. Now many clubs attend.
There is the club perpetual trophy at stake! Last year won by HVTA.
As fare as I know its the only shoot that still has a 100 yard event using trad gear? "York Shoot with less arrows shot" I might be corrected on this? All distances are unmarked for the field events and reasonable distances for hunters.
The field is two courses of 10 targets. One target faces and the other paper animal faces. Lots of up and down shots. Very good for hunting practice.
There is a clout shoot, moving targets and novelty events including a night spotlight shoot on the Saturday after dark.
Nick from the TAA Guild will be setting up a table for show and trade. Saturday afternoon. Bowyers will be showing their equipment and there should be lots to trade and sell. So bring along some gear for sale or trade.
Raffle on both days run by "Towball".
We have a world class trad archer from Italy attending with his bow designs on display. Have a shot out of an Italian Longbow! (62" deflex reflex, great for hunting, very fast).
Lots of good food for sale from Friday night to Sunday lunch, free camping and chronograph (spelling?) set up. Test the speed of your bows! Thanks to the TAA mob. It will only cost you a small gold coin donation, if you can afford it?
The shoot will start as arrows are shot in memory of past archery trad mates no-longer with us. If you have an archery mate that has passed away and you would like them to be remembered on the day, contact me with details. An arrow for each will be shot over the field to start the tournament.
Hope to see you there, please let the shoot coordinator know if you are attending, numbers and if camping is required.

Hi Steve
Thats great -- I guess I am living in the past but really like the idea of having met the people I talk to rather than them being disembodied spirits from the nether world.
My son tells me meeting the people you know on line always spoils the friendship but I can not agree --- I expect it is an age thing.
