Hi All

It is that time of the year again so here we go.

First off though today the targets seemed a little longer than than last year. Plus the "exciting" shots were not there - I wonder what tomorrow will bring.

Today I shot the first course and then shot photos. There are lots of photos of what the targets look like with me shooting from behind the archer.

Longbow Archers who want to appear fashionable should take notice of what Richard is modelling this weekend.

Most importantly the food was good.

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

Outstanding photography Grahame! Some of those pics showing the arrow in flight are just amazing. I tip my lid to an obvious expert in the art! Hope you shot as well with your bow??!! :D

The guy in the "skirt" :shock: I think I'm in love :oops: :lol:

Hope the rest of your time there is just as good as it appears to be.

Best regards
Tom
