Steve....

Don't worry about nomination forms mate, will be taken care of before we start the action on Saturday morning. Would be good to see the Smokester up at Tully again.

[gazza]

you can put me down for two shooters, me and the missus or is that the misses i think i will have more than that good to hear there is plenty of room i,m a newbie with this motorhome thingy also towing big trailer so need all the room i can have can we show up a few days early we might do some sight seeingbefore the shoot,gaz.

[ole_silver]

Hi Ben...........

is there any scope for pets under control........... ??

regards,

Steve..............

[Ben S]

Steve - pets won't be a problem, as long as Fido doesn't end up loose out on the range or anything!!

Gaz - there's literally acres of camp ground so you can have as much room as you like. If you head up early let me know so I can sort out access to the facilities etc. In terms of sight seeing, it's endless within a 50km radius. If you're into fishing at all let me know and I'll point you in the right direction, the fishing is equally endless.

[ole_silver]

Thanks Ben......

this is for a mate, so now he and another will be there as well ..

11 so far but who's counting..


regards,
Steve..............

we were welcomed in Tully on Friday afternoon after seting up camp, to a great camp oven cooked thick stew like soup.. just about all went for seconds...

Saturday was a blast, we had a very good time meandering around the rain forest shooting the 3D's..

Many thanks to the Tully Mob..............

here is a couple of pics..........

Steve..

[Stickbow Hunter]

Good to hear you had a great time. Why is it mate that most of your recent posts mentions, or has photos of, you and tucker?

Jeff

[Gringa Bows]

Ay Steve it looks like you had fun,and you look kinder cute in your outfit

[ole_silver]

Yeah Jeff...........

tucker; sustinance for the inbuilt stabilisers.... (that's what Little Arrows called it)..

the pig was even better once it was cooked.

Roddie...............

even i thought i looked cute... some hours went into dying of the shirt n jeans,,,, Justin give me a hand with the sewing of the jacket, just had those bits of leather laying round a few years had to find a job for them.

couple more pics and cheers

Steve............

[Gringa Bows]

i see Wayno did'nt do the dress up thing,bit shy was he.

[ole_silver]

yeah he is a bit shy n maybe he did't wanna look silly in front of daughter Lily..


we were rained out Sunday so did not shoot but had a ball over the Saturday events...

on th trip home we stopped off at "Frosty Mango" for a nice big double ice cream.......

cheers,

Steve...............

[UPTHETOP]

Yes it was a great weekend, shame it was rained out on the last day. Big thanks to Ben, Ray and Graham and the girls behind the kitchen as well. It was good to crack some rubber in the rainforest.
The shoot itself was great no scoring, If ya didnt like your shot you just took another one. Just a marker peg and shoot from where you like and at your own distance it was a fun shoot.
A few photos of the local robin hood crew, some of the targets and some of the local bowyer tallent as well there are some great bowyers an knife builders in this small part of the world.
Cheers enjoy.

[Stickbow Hunter]

I like the look of the wood work in the bows in the first two photos. Love the last photo; poor Ol' Steve.

Jeff

[Gringa Bows]

very nice work in those handle alright,Steve looks incredibly laid back or is he saying a prayer

[ole_silver]

YEAH THANKS WAYNO...

Just near broke my back fallin outta my chair with laugther when i saw that last shot..

anyway..

Rod, i am not puttin the stick to him no more.. some things should be kept secrete.. even the dog biscuits that i found in my mouth when i awoke from my beauty sleep..

but i am sure that was Justin & Josh's dirty work..

anyway again, we are all back up here again on the 18th & 19th Sept...

cheers,

Steve..
