Great Sothern shoot

Yep Tim,

I know there will be alot of archers coming from interstate as well but people are notoriously slow at getting the entries in. I will remind the 400 archers on the event data base soon.

I'll russle up those from Geelong archers. You can expect up to 10 archers from the Southern Horde I reckon. They won't want to miss this one for quids!

Tim,

Is there a family price available? There are 2 adults and 3 kids here coming.

Is there a minimum age to compete?

Matt and I will be there... I'm just making up 12 Flu Flu's now, but they'll be at my draw length so I think jfruitcake (Michelle) will be one of the only other ppl that could borrow a few if needed.

We'll post our form this week. Do we have to book a camping spot? We just have a little dome tent for the both of us...

I'm looking forward to seeing what you've got cooked up for us Timbow. The 3D night shoot, complete with smoke machine and background noises sounds particularly intriguing.

What have you done to spice up the king's round? :D

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

That sounds like a great program. I'm really miffed that Anysia and I can't make it this year. I guess in hindsight it may have been better to wait a little longer before I switched jobs. Have fun guys and I really look forward to the pics.

Happy shooting :)
They'll never hit us from this dist....

I'm truly looking forward to all the events you have lined up for us, including the king's round. I was just funning with ya, I couldn't resist having just one more little whinge about it. :)

Lochmoy and Timbow,

Looks like I will have to make the effort too. See you there. Don't know if I will shoot though.
