It has been some time since I
last shot an arrow essentially last September at the Nationals and
so I was looking forward to what I expected would be an
entertaining first shoot of 2013 at Fleet Ibex. So after what was
an early start with the clocks going forward this weekend it was
to Fleet and a rather chilly start to the day. The one thing you
notice about Fleet Ibex is the wind certainly whips across the
field that is the car park and into the woods.
So with plenty of layers on it was off to registration and, unfortunately, not an immediate bacon roll that would have to wait until after the first target as we would be starting on target 40. Today we would be shooting with Dave and Alex who I've shot with a couple of times and as it seems mainly at Fleet and so with 2 adults a junior and cub we had a small group that would be quick to shoot and with John not scoring that would be slightly quicker as well.
