Re: Wisemans Ferry TRADITIONAL ARCHERY GET-TOGETHER MARCH 20
Hi Roadie,
Being chauffeured by the Hornmaster, not sure if we are arriving Thursday or Friday afternoon.
In the meantime I'll do a quick trip to the U.K. to make a genuine ELB and be back in time for the shoot.

Afternoon Daryl.
Hmmmm......... Alright Daryl, Grant and the rest. Going back a few posts, just what is a genuine ELB? Now do you need special/appropriate arrows?greybeard wrote:In the meantime I'll do a quick trip to the U.K. to make a genuine ELB and be back in time for the shoot.

Shoot a Selfbow, embrace Wood Arrows, discover Vintage, be a Trendsetter.

Ay Folks, For me anything that looks like what they found on the MARY ROSE, will do for me, minus a few Pounds, my Days of shooting the WAR Bow (!00 lbs plus) is over, it makes a great walking stick now. Happy to shoot my 50Lbs ELB, Australian made by Norseman Bows, can't get much better than that. Daryl be great if you and the Hornmaster can make it for Thursday, I plan to be there late Wednesday, have a couple of Great MALTS to share. Cheers Roadie.

Hey Daryl, should you whip yourself up a set of English Arrows to go with your English Longbow whilst in the UK - you have a couple of weeks.....
Ok "The Hunt" spot will be saved - just yell when you arrive, I'm sure we'll all hear you....
Grahame, put that spoon down......
cheers

Re: Wisemans Ferry TRADITIONAL ARCHERY GET-TOGETHER MARCH 20
Hi Sue,
Further to our discussion on arrows to be used at Wisemans; do we have to use the same arrows for the clout section of the shoot as we do the rest of the targets other than popinjay of course?
Ok and another "rules" question are there any issues with shooting 3 under as against split fingers i know from my queries to both ABA and 3DAAA neither has a problem.
Cheers
Ian

Hi yes the catering was fabulous last year; hope its on again this year; sure saves a lot of mucking around with food storage; trying to keep things cold etc cooking fires and stoves.
A very greatful thankyou to all the helpers in the kitchen and on the BBQ.
Cheers

Re: Wisemans Ferry TRADITIONAL ARCHERY GET-TOGETHER MARCH 20
Still think the SES should have their chopper on standby to do a hill top rescue!

Re: Wisemans Ferry TRADITIONAL ARCHERY GET-TOGETHER MARCH 20
Mate had a chat with Roadie yesterday seems like he is coming along just fine now after some issues were sorted earlier and mate we don't need my suggested crane or the SES chopper (good idea though) all we need is Nick Lintern playing the role of mountain goat and pack mule; hmmmm pack goat theres a thought!!
Cheers guys and good hearing from you Grant.
