Having not shot field or even much target
archery since the Nationals I was looking forward to getting back
out into the woods chasing down those 3Ds. So given that this was
a friendly scoring was optional, quiet good for me, and all the
pressure was off. So having decided to go around a couple of times
it was a case of getting to Fleet for a 09:00 start and see who
else had arrived.
Arriving at the same time as Fred and his crew we decided to tag
onto their group and wander around as a large group of 7
(maybe a bit large) but with the easy going conversation it was
going to be entertaining especially as we had a junior.
Having not been to Fleet for a while it was a bit of a shock to
see how much tree felling had been going on and the woods looked
quite bare and empty with lots of open space. This said the course
layers did their job well finding all the bits of cover and tricky
shots as I can attest when I reached the Skunk. Being a friendly
there was only a single peg to shoot from which meant that John
would be shooting exactly the same shots as me. The net result of
this was to prove how much better John is at this archery lark
than I am and it was rare for him to take a second shot let alone
miss whilst I had a few misses and hence a few exploding arrows.
Although we did not get to go around twice
the morning and the targets we managed to shoot was excellent and
I'm looking forward to going back for there first open shoot this
year.
A short report but still a great day and some photos of the
guilty.
