Re: 2014 Australian Longbow and Recurve Muster
Everyone needs to bring a few old arrows too - ones that won't mind going back to nature!
Blame the range creator!
The grounds couldn't look any better, ranges are fantastic and friends & food will make for a great Muster.
See you in a few sleeps everyone.

Re: 2014 Australian Longbow and Recurve Muster
Just got the bow out and had a few shots for the first time in a couple of months and broke two arrows ( on the target frame, steel pickets) I guess this means Im ready for the muster on the weekend.

Day 1 of the competition is done and dusted.
The courses were challenging!!! and for those of us vertically challenged people, some targets were hidden by the long grass.
More to come tomorrow.
Weather is brilliant.

Re: 2014 Australian Longbow and Recurve Muster
Hi Sue.
Meanwhile enjoy the shoot.
I am interested in the break-up of numbers in larger terms - ie how many travelled 200k, how many travelled 500k, etc. So if you would just jot down some rough notes of how many Sydney locals, how many Qld, Vics, etc. it would be appreciated.little arrows wrote:camping ground is getting very full.

Re: 2014 Australian Longbow and Recurve Muster
There were 102 archers in total at Gladstone and to answer Grahame's question a rough breakup off the top of my head would be - NONE from Sydney, wrong shoot Grahame... 2 from Brisbane/Gold Coast, 20 or so from Caboolture to say just north of Gympie, 15 odd from Bundaberg, 15 or so from as far north as Townsville and down to Mackay, 3 from WA, 2 from Lithgow, 12 or more from Toowoomba to Gayndah, 20 or so from Maryborough area, plus lots of locals ... That'll do, my brain's tired now.
The weather was fantastic, courses were interesting. Food was worth the wait. Great to catch up with everyone, it had been a while between shoots, and well done to the Gladstone Club for a fine effort.
Results will be posted shortly, along with some photos.
cheers
