Ozbow

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

Trish - and this applies to any others who wish their shoot etc. to be advertised - send me the details in email form and I'll send it to the Ozbow list, if you wish.

cheers,

Erron

Thanks Erron
Will keep you in mind for next year.

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
Buford

Buford, you have me convinced!

Sounds like the best of times, to me. Even a broadhead round. Running pig, flu flu... too much fun

Where's my calendar...

Hey Matt,

What about me, I was there too

It was also good to put a face to your name too

And you also met poppy.p. he was there too.

Yes it was an EXCELLENT WEEKEND, can't wait til the next one.

And we hope to get to see Erron also.

Trish

trish,

next year I hope to be working part time, and able to put my feet where my mouth is when I say I'm gunna attend these shoots/hunts etc.

Cheers,

Erron

What about me, I was there too

sorry if you feel left out. I just thought everyone whould have known you'd be there cause ya'll were runnin the event!

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!

cheers
Buford

sorry Trish, only funnin' wif ya.

just say the word and i will take it off. (the pic that is)

it was a fine slice by the way!



stace,

i met so many new people on the weekend, it's quite possible i did meet him. 'Dwarf' does ring a bell but on monday mornin' there were bells ringin' in my head!

cheers
Buford

I don't know any dwarf, maybe you are thinking of the GNOME aka Chris Lutschini.

No probs about the photo, they are good.

I hope that you also got alot more pic's

Trish

Yeah Trish ,It was the GNOME ,memory fading and he coped so many names that weekend it was hard to keep track .
Wish them all the best from this end

Stace

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.

Mark K.

hope that you also got alot more pic's

sorry, too much to do to be runnin round with the camera all weekend!
did have a few more but i wasn't happy with them, bit dodgy so i didn't bother gettin them scanned.

buford

Here are a couple more photos from the shoot.

And more............

Great snaps Mark, thanks for that. Looks like a really nice, relaxed shoot!



Erron

Mark, you didn't get a pic of me winning the major prize and being carried off on everyones shoulders to the crys of hurrah!!



oh wait.... that never happened did it!?

dang! oh well.... next year maybe?

Erron

HI THERE ALL,

MARK, "I DIDN'T KNOW WE HAD A TREE STAND ON THE PROGRAM."

HOPE YOU LIKE THEM

TRISH [/i]

I have to apologise that I am unable to submit Mark in his tree stand as it is over 300kb and as I am not computer literate I couldn't make it smaller

Trish
