Hey Big Benno,

I know we will need to bring our battle clout shields, but will we need to bring our flu-flu arrows along too?

If I remember correctly, there was a bow bird event at last years shoot. :)

It probably says it all in the attached flyers, but I can't open the second one for some reason.

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

Hi Guys nearly time for the shoot
certificates have been designed, and we think you will all love them, they look awesome if I do say so myself
Merv is not happy, he will have to miss it while he is in hospital having his throat cut (cleaning out his pipes)
I believe this event will be bigger and better than last year with more enjoyment for all

we will have more kids at this one, so it will help to bring on more Trad shooters

Really looking forward to this weekend

Well Done Peter and twin city crew thank you for a great weekend. The weather ,events, comradship, food and location was great. A very impressive location if only a few other clubs had the support from their Council this club has. And the dreaming and creative ability and know how that this club has. Well done. Yes the 3 Amigos from Hunter valley were in the thick of it and great fun. Look out Hunter valley June 2009 I think there will be a few Mexicans coming to Hunter Valley to catch up with the boys and jion in on your trad event. Again well done everyone.

Thanks very much Twin City Bowmen for putting on such a successful and enjoyable weekend!!

The weather was great, as was the company. There was some mighty fine shooting to be seen. The food was fantastic. It was heart warming to see so many children enjoying themselves there.

So, a big well done to Peter and his helpers. :wink: Well done guys!!! :D

I'll be there again next year. 8)

... fully concur with what has already been written, a well run tournament from the Twin city archers (as always)
The great southern is a chance to catch up with a great bunch of people.

And as Timbow said I had a great crew to shoot 3D with on sunday, we pushed each other the whole way. great stuff.

well done and thanks to the Hunter valley boyz and scrub bull for making the effort to come down to vic. At least we got a dry one for ya this time!

thank you to Big Benno and his hard working crew at Morewell.

I have photos of the hunt, but they're too big to put online, and i'm no good at editing them
We had nearly 2 minutes on the local news on the monday night, and near a full page in the local newspaper
heaps of publicity
