Ballarat shoot,
Looks like I wont get to Morwell so I am definatly going to Ballarat and I know of 3 who others that are not on the net who will be there as well. Hopefully I can round up even more by then..
Can the youngsters ( 10 to 12 yo's ) shoot and what arrows are they allowed.

It will be good to catch up with you at Ballarat.

The Ballarat boys have never worried about whether you use wood arrows or synthetic. I don't think anything has changed in that department, so you will be able to use whatever you prefer. I'm not too sure about the minimum age requirements, if there's any.

I'm really looking forward to this shoot.

Mick

[kerrille]

yes mick me too i bought a new tent the other day cant wait to try it out . Plus with petrol going down its even better.

You will love the Ballarat shoot. It's pretty well full on 3D shooting the whole weekend, with a bit of moving targets shooting and maybe a novelty event, like a speed round. It's a great venue in a bushland setting. There's plenty of room for camping, so you will be able to put up that new tent somewhere that's perfect.

See you there mate!

Mick

[rodney macdonald]

G'day Mick Smith,
Thanks for your reply in regards to the arrows I thought that was the case but thought I had better check up wouldn't like to have the youngsters upset because of it. However would like to know if there is age limits these
two youngsters shoot regular at Donald.

Be good to catch up with you again at Ballarrat and to Kerrill it is a great venue and challenging course well worth the trip

[matt_d]

Hope I make it back home from work in Tassie to make it to this one. Having missed out on the Great Southern I'm feeling a little deprived! This shoot should be a real ripsnorter

[stringnstik]

Unfortunately Ill miss this one, im working up on the gold coast on this w/e darn it.

[hardgainer]

Hope you can make this one Matt...always great to have you in the lineup.

[wal]

Rod,

Age is no barrier as long as they have an Idea what they are doing , we usually try and get the littlies with a parent or at least someone they know really well, Andy's young fella's from up there have no prob's , and they don't come much smaller than when I first started seeing them getting around.

Cheers

[rodney macdonald]

Thanks wayne
yep these youngsters know what it is all about although I think this is their first real go at a big shoot, They will be even getting a go at making their own arrows tomorrow.and they are eager to get there and have a go.

G'day Kerrille,
Looking foward to seeing you at the Ballarat shoot, although I find it hard to believe that it was August the last time it rained here in down town sunny Dunolly. Although it was a little cooler when you were here.
