Just on 2 weeks until the Corrival - Gary has got some interesting and challenging shots lined up . He has a good idea for a flu flu shoot this year - so bring along your flu flu's .

Caboolture bowmen are putting on a free sausage sizzle friday night for early arrivals , come early - the more the merrier . I will poking about the club grounds all week leading up to the Corrival so if you want to arrive a day or 2 earlier no worries .

The commitee and other members have been busy and you will be struck by the improvements underway , including a new amenities block which we hope will be up and going for the Corrival .

I am looking forward to catching up with everyone and sharing a challenging shoot and an ale , catch you all .

regards Perry

we will be there Perry,how many flu flu's do you think we will need each

[perry]

6 should do it Rod , make sure you have plenty of fletch mate , a spiral bound full length feather or a minimum of 6 4" uncut feathers as we only have about 80 yards of clearing before the scrub .

regards Perry

[gary p]

hi all , this should be a great weekend , dont forget to bring your goods for the trading post and your handy craft to show ,gaz.

[perry]

Definatly bring along crafts to show folks but this year I will not be running a Archery Craft show with awards , THIS WILL BE BACK FOR 2009 THOUGH . Just a great opportunity to show off your skills with everything from knife making to bowbuilding .

I will kick off a trade / swap / sell table now with a lovely 80's vintage Bob WIlson Hill style bow , a takedown deflex reflex and a 46# selfbow .

regards Perry

My son and I are looking forward to to sausage sizzle on the Friday night and the trade / swap / sell table.
And of course the archery and friendship.

[perry]

Shapping up to be a widely attended shoot folks . Achers have informed us from Sydney to Gladstone they are coming . Cant thank you enough - we really love having fellow traditional archers travelling to attend the Corrival . Actually I love travelling far and wide to the traditional shoots , just wish finances and family allowed me to attend all of them each year .

regards Perry

[Brett Finger]

Kind Regards, Bretto

Evening folks - just dangling a carrot here .

The Hawkeye Jackpot is around $680 .00 at the Corrival . To be eligable to enter you must compete in all the events over the weekend . The Hawkeye is a seperate event and costs $5.00 to enter .

If another 64 shooters have a crack at the Hawkeye the kit could top $1000

[perry]

It would not be the Corrival with out you there Shrek . Over the years you have grown in stature as the cultural icon of traditional archery in Queenslands Sth East - the Les Paterson of Longbowmen no less .

really kind regards Perry

Tell Mick we expect a full rundown of his trip up the Cape and wish him luck if he has not left yet . Is this why he set about getting fitter - good on him . This is Hinterlands club hunt isn't it Shrek , Mick and the Mongrel will be mixing it with the compound folks up there . Good on him for flying the flag .

[perry]

three more sleeps,and we're there

[perry]

I went down the range this morning to do a bit of whipper snipping around the moving target and to tidy things up . The bloody brush cuter packed it in around 10 am , less than 1/2 way through - 3 trips to the mower shop [ about 70 Km ] and 2 1/2 hours later much freestyle division use of the english language and I got it running again - I hope ??????

Sometimes I really hate helping put on shoots .

Here's a link to a map which shows an easy way to get to Cabooture bowmen and some directions that will get you there without it . The map does show all the roads but Phelps road . Its easy to find , turn left at the tip off Cabooture River Road .

http://www.australianexplorer.com/maps/caboolture.htm

Take the Buchanan Rd exit off the highway coming from either North or South follow it west
- at the end of Buchanan Rd the High school is on the left
- turn right and go under the low railway bridge
- turn left at the small roundabout and head west around the side of the shopping centre
- make sure you are in the right lane , likely you will get a red light go straight ahead [ west ] into Caboolture River Rd
- about 10 kilometres up is a tip [ on the right ] just past the tip is Phelps Road .
-Caboolture bowmen is down the end on the left near the enviromental reserve .

regards Perry

[Buford]

aarrrggghhh!! stoopid cars! I'm now only a 50% chance of making it due to my truckster needing a transplant. If I utter the words "big end" i'm guessing most of you guys will feel my pain!

[perry]

Lets hope I'm not stuck with your gas bottle and burner for another 3 years Matt . Hope it works out for you - I will mind your gasbottle . Do hope to see you

If it's any consolation my edger does run for about 10 seconds and stalls , then wont run for 10 minutes so it's better than this morning . There is a lot to be said for sheep and goats .

regards Perry

[perry]

2 more sleeps folks .

I assisted Gary with setting the coarses today Grahame A will be pleased to know no giant goanna's running up tree's this year . But what has Gary replaced it with

The new amenities block is up and running . A huge thankyou to Steve , his sons and the commitee .

Catch you all over the weekend . Going to be a good shoot and don't forget the free sausage sizzle toomorrow night
