Osprey Triple 2012

Another awesome day shooting target, field and clout! Forgot my quiver and all that usually comes with it (tab, arrow puller, pens, tassel, knife, pouch…) but luckily Michelle and Mark came to the rescue! My flatmate Nikki was Lady P and both Craig and Gav got to show off their new ’3D Appreciation Society’ T-Shirts [...]

British Barebow Champs 2011

This weekend will be my second go at the BBCs (http://www.archerygb.org/members/tournaments/entryforms/barebow_championships.php) I had an awful shoot last year and didn’t even make it to 400! My handicap suggests that I should be shooting around 420. Never-the-less I managed to come 19th in Britain and 49th in the World but I really hope to do better! [...]

Belvedere Summer Shoot – 2011

The weekend just gone saw my only visit to Belvedere this year (their other shoots have clashed with many dancing events). I was also asked if I could shoot my Primitive bow and be part of an instinctive team for the John Lincoln Instinctive Team Memorial trophy. How could I say no? I would be [...]

South West Challenge 2011

This was one of the highlights of the year last year, so I was very excited about this one too! The wonderful Penrose families ( Ken & Kay, Mike & Helen) kindly invited us to join them on their travels around the various campsites and evening get-togethers which made it even more fun. In fact, [...]

Magna Carta Summer Shoot 2011

This was my first NFAS shoot here (I did shoot here for the PAAS Primitive Weekend tho…). This ground does not allow carbon arrows so I thought it was a great excuse to use my primitive bow again as I will be shooting mainly barebow from now until the Nationals in September. As Owen shoots [...]

Jim’s Jungle Jaunt 2011

If you’re a wooden arrow archer and have never been to Jungle Jim’s – WHAT ARE YOU DOING??? This was my second trip to JJJ – last year was such good fun that I really couldn’t resist! The majority of archers who compete shoot mainly wooden arrows (it used to be a wooden arrow only [...]
