Re: Wide Bay Tradtastic Feb 7/8 2015
the BOM 4 day forecast looks like the coast will get some rain and a fair bit of wind, it seems to blow itself out, so to speak.
We shall all find out in 6 sleeps.....

Perry, catch a lift, if you've got any mates. Must be plenty coming from down that way.

Re: Wide Bay Tradtastic Feb 7/8 2015
This shoots looks as though it will be a real hoot. It's too far for me, unfortunately. So that I might still be able to get some sense of what it was like, could some of you please take your cameras and use them whenever possible and then post up your photos for the rest of us to see.
Good luck everyone and have a great time!!!

Re: Wide Bay Tradtastic Feb 7/8 2015
Thanks Wide Bay for great weekend and a good range.
Mick you may need to wait for the photos, as some of us are not retired yet and it takes time, there where a lot of cameras out on the range so a few good photos will get here at some stage.
I did not take many as I left the battery for my main camera at home

Re: Wide Bay Tradtastic Feb 7/8 2015
Thanks Mark. Without you, it appears that the photographical essays following trad shoots would be just about dead. It seems strange that there were so many competitors reportedly using their cameras at the event, yet there are so few people who are willing to share them with everyone else, here at Ozbow. Personally, I believe that the growing and extensive preference of using Facebook by many clubs and individual archers will spell the death knell for sites like Ozbow.
