Moderator: Moderators
To Anyone that recieves the Archery Action magazine, I have to appologise that we do not have an advert in the mag, due to loss of mail they did not recieve the add.
So if wish to attend our Gathering on the June long weekend, and you did not get an invite, please let me know so that catering can be finalized by the end of May.Otherwise, just turn up, there should be enough,( I hope)
See you all there
Trish

holy crap, what a weekend!
first things first..... Did anyone see Erron?
Where were ya mate?! I had a handshake and a mug o' shine waitin' for ya!
Was a top shoot, 3D, Flu Flu, running pig, wand shoot, broad head range and a speed round. I especially enjoyed the demo on how to 'foot' arrow shafts. The medieval re-enactors were a crack up, beltin each other with axes!
I met up with Mr. Kimber and his family. great guy, easy to talk to. Great opportunity to put a face to a name. (couple more compliments and i get a discount on one of them curves )
Erron, you gotta plan your whole next 12 months around that weekend my friend. you wont regret it.
cheers

to put things in perspective ..... trish, poppy.p and all the hunter valley crew put on a great weekend and i will be back next year. might even drag the old man along. the only problem i had over the weekend was i think my bottle o' jack had a hole in it? cause i woke up monday mornin' and it was empty! and there was something strange going on in the atmosphere cause the sun seemed brighter than usual!

(promised them we would be down but thing didn't work out )

Don't know about the spry young fella bit Erron, the cold down that way was making the bones feel more like an old mans.
Good few photos Matt, The fella with me on the bow bird is Pete Rogers with his Osage selfbow (Dotty I think he calls her). Pete also put on some flint napping (spelling?) demos. He is not only a talented selfbowyer, artist with pencil and paper but also creates some beautiful napped arrows and knives.
Also, the fella in the last photo of the previous post is another well known gent in trad archery/bowhunting Howard O'Conner. Howard as a lot would know is also a talented bowyer. Another of his skills I found out is camp game cookery. As well as Fallow deer and Rabbit I was served up my first taste/meal of Sambar. Top food, top hospitality.
Once I have had a chance to sort through the photos from the last two weeks I will have a few more to post from the shoot.
