This weekend was my first visit to the Gladstone Club!!! ...unfortunately I could only stay for the first day - but I had a ball.

What a fantastic group of people - great facilities - a well organised day - and a great time!

Thanks to all of the organizers - despite the weather in the previous week a great course had been set out!!!

As a fairly new trad shooter the coaching and advice given was also very much appreciated.

Gene-o, make sure you email me one of those shoot calendars when they're finalized...I'm definitely keen to visit a few more times this year!

Cheers,
Paul

On behalf of the Gladstone Bowhunters Club, I would like to thank everyone that came and supported our shoot this weekend. With your help we managed to raise $1 752.70 for the "Heart Foundation", in memory of Barry Griggs. I hope everyone enjoyed the shoot at least half as much as we enjoyed having you there. Again, thanks to one and all, and we hope to see you all at the "Australian Longbow and Recurve Muster" later in the year.
Cheers

FUN--FUN I've not had such fun since when I would sit in the mud in the pouring rain trying to drown the neighbours cat with a stick. Much the same as we were trying to do here! Rod , where are the photo's.

[Gene-o]

Hey Blu-Dog, great to put a face to the name mate. I will send you that callender soon as we sort it all out. Hope everyone had a great time, I know I sure did. Cant wait for the next shoot guys. "Hows your haed feeling Rod?"



Gene-o.

[Grunter Hunter 63]

Howdy all.......hope you had a ball at the shoot........thanks to all who travelled and to the locals who came out and shot. In my view it was a great success with a very healthy amount raised for a great cause.......Thanks for your support.
Just goes to show that the rain can't dampen the spirits of bowhunters and archers alike.

Oh yeh.......How's the head Big Rod...........and where are all the photo's......... come on now you have slept long enough....

You should be able to sand the marks out of your new bow......the one that you slept on top of in your stretcher.......

Once again thanks to everyone for the support and help over the weekend.

[Gringa Bows]

didn' get a lot of pics,as my camera got a bit tipsy saturday night,and i had planned to do most of photo taking sunday but i was struck down by some kind of strange alien virus.......was going to get everyones photo and put names to them,but i'll have to wait till the muster now:D


i woke up to scrub bull being bogged,thats Mrs.scrub bull on the back of the truck

but with assistance from Andy and his Nissan got it out

nearly all bows there were trad which i thought was pretty good.



this is the clubs under cover area that is al;most finished,heaps of room

heres a pic of a couple of the young bloke shooting at the cans of water first can to the floor looses



this is their can thingy the can are full of water and balanced,the idea is put holes in the tin so the water runs

this is red eagle and thats Geno shooting with his feet and he did pretty well the camera was getting dizzy by this time

Richy RedEagle let this young bloke borrow one of his bows and if he beat him in the V shoot he could have it, and he did top, bloke that red Eagle.

by the end of the night a few of us were shooting at bottle tops on a house brick at about 12yrds i guess.

[Gringa Bows]

i had a great time up there thank you Gladstone bow hunters,so many things happend and i did'nt get it on camera i'm a bit slack, i'll try to do a better job at the muster Mrs. Scrub Bull might have some pictures that she may want to put on here ..............Rod

[Grunter Hunter 63]

Well done '55'......hope ya feelin' a bit better now and hope there isn't too much sanding required on the new bow.....

It was great to have you all up here, hope you enjoyed it......we certainly did....

Give ya a yell when the rubber ones come back out of the cupboard......might not be so wet underfoot then but it was certainly a whole lot cooler shooting on Sunday as we were all wet as shags...........

When the 3D calendar is put together I will shoot a copy down to you guys.......

Once again thanks for coming up and supporting the great cause......

Cheers mate......talk soon.

[Gringa Bows]

yeah thanks mate, feeling good now the bow will be done when this rain goes no problem, i loved every minute up there,except when i woke up sunday morning i've got to remember i'm not 30 anymore next time less beer more photo's looking forward to the next shoot and the calendar,P.S.next shoot can you make sure Geno's missus Christie,is in my group just in case i have trouble pulling my arrows out of a 3D target again ..................Rod

[Scrub Bull]

Here are a few of the photos that I got. Now lets see how many names I can get right.

[Stickbow Hunter]

Good to see and hear you all had a good time. It appears as though things were more than a little damp.

Jeff

[Gringa Bows]

they're good quality photo's Mark,any more ................Rod

[Gene-o]

Hey Jeff, your spot on about being a damp weekend, although it rained a fair bit we all still had fun.
From the high tech shooters to us that use trad gear, we were all out in it sloshing around, I couldnt think of a better way to spend a weekend.

Geneo.

[redeagle]

Yeh Geno, the water only came up to your chest, I needed a snorkel!!!

[Scrub Bull]

Ok some more photos. Dont ask for names my brain got to damp on the weekend.

[Stickbow Hunter]

Yeah Gene-o enjoying yourself is what matters.

Jeff

[TRASH]

Great fun and Great people, Thats what makes any shoot at the Gladstone club a success no matter what the weather does. Bring on the MUSTER,,,,, Nice photo's Rod except theres none of me !!!!!!!!! An i thought i was somebody, oh well . Keep up the good work fella's

[Gringa Bows]

ay TRASH which bloke were you ..............Rod

[Gringa Bows]

Ahhhh now i know who you are mate how you been.............alot of the photo's didnt turn out i dont understand all the ajustments on the camera,and maybe i should have used the flash .and its not because i had A can of beer................Rod

[TRASH]

Oh well !!!!! I WAS GUNNA tell everyone how the new bow you made,,, hit the tennis ball with its first shot ,an how you proceeded to hit it a further 3 or 4 times BUT, to forget who i was !!!!!! then again you were having trouble focusing when i seen ya.

[Gringa Bows]

Ayyyy it was late i was tired ,i would have hit the ball more times,but somebody kept moving it ...............Rod......P.S.even Gene-o was tired he had to sit down and shoot with his feet ........
