Hi all,
Haven't posted anything for a while so thought I'd share a bit about our last shoot.
To begin with, it was a BIG day! I think we set a new record for the club with 22 visitors and 33 shooters! (Adam's front yard looked like a car park). The weather wasn't great with a bit of drizzle but it didn't stop anyone.
Its great seeing so many new people enjoying themselves while discovering the fun of 3D archery. We are very fortunate to have such a generous president who allows the club to use his property, which is a beautiful spot to shoot at.
I did my usual panic (how many people there were, did we have enough equipment, did we have enough sausages!, who was going out with who) but thankfully had help from Raffs and Clinton in organising groups. (We ended up with 5).
It was also our first shoot with 20 targets using our new, challenging A and B course. Personally I enjoyed it immensely and judging by the looks on everyone else's faces, I'm not the only one. Thanks to Adam, Gary, Raffs and Clinton (sorry if I forgot anyone) for setting the new course up.
As our club is growing, we have purchased some new bows and targets and hopefully these will be put to use at the next shoot in September. Also due to the expansion of the club, we are looking more seriously into finding an alternative site to locate our club. This will be discussed soon among members and if anyone has any ideas, please feel free to share them.
I haven't got many photos to share as it was a bit overcast but there are a few. (If anyone ever takes any photos on shoots that you would like to share, please forward them to me for approval and inclusion in the next blog).
One of the photos is of Justin carrying a log back to the clubhouse, having been unable to extract his arrow. What followed was an entertaining 20 mins or so of watching him and Jerome getting it out, with the help of a couple of observers (who I'm sure were offering advice) and of Evan's tiny tomahawk.
Anyway, that's it for now. Hope everyone's enjoying our shoots and our friendly little club.
See you soon!
Cheers
Kate
