Having had a short break from
shooting, in all forms, today I would be doing something that I
haven't done for a while and that was shooting at a new club and
hence a new course. I have been meaning to shoot Druids for quite
sometime but other commitments always managed to get in the way
and so I was looking forward to shooting this highly recommended
course.As it was the gods smiled on us today because the rains of Saturday had passed and we were in for a glorious day if a little chilly in the wind. Because of the number of entries the Druids course layers put on 40 targets of 3Ds and painted faces which we would be shooting Fur & Feathers (much better than wound lines). In addition most of the groups would consist of 5 archers to allow for the large number of archers.
So after the standard pre-shoot talk it was off to
my first target and to meet the people I would be spending the day
with. I was on my own today and hence it looked like I would be
shooting with a complete bunch of strangers although as usual they
would not be by the end of the day. On arrival at the first target
it was time to say hello the Angus, Robert, Janet and Ruth who I
would be spending this sunny early spring day with. In a group
that was composed of Longbows and AFBs shooting was going to be
quick and fortunately the mix of archers across the course allowed
for a short days shooting and hence 40 completed targets by 16:30.
