Steve/Chris still up for 10:30 tomorrow ?

 

[ozzy1977]

Yup, hope the wind dies down or things might get interesting

 

[Big Stu 12]

yeah I know saying that it should be a bit sheltered

 

[ozzy1977]

Been fidling around with the bow a bit today, and shot a few dozen arrows in the garden today.

 

[Big Stu 12]

yeah shooting better ?

 

[ozzy1977]

Those Chinese arrows are better than the old ones that I was using, can't wait to make my own in the new year.

1030 is good for me.

A good day had in the woods toady doing some field archery with Chris and Steve, we were joined with Miguel from the Club, who is a Bushcrafter as well.. we may see him on here soon , it was a day of chatter, laughs, mickey taking and some great archery .

Think Meguel had one lost arrow, I had about three piles come off, and shattered on arrow in to four bits..... and Chriss Chinese Arrows looks like they performed well

Thanks for your company Guys.

Heres some pics

Miguel won the nearest the stick...





A bit of kill the tree action..


Bet you could not do this again Chris....

I reckon your right Stu, still I had a great day and did not loose any arrows or break any

 

[Cromm]

It was a great day as normal. I enjoyed every moment, cheers fellas.

 

[SJStuart]

Sounds like you guys have had fun!

I've spent today experimenting with fire lighters (synthetic and natural, all kinds of imaginative combinations of items both household and common natural elements in the UK)

Now I just have to shoot the video comparing them all (how long they burn for, how hot, resistance to damp/wetness etc)

It was a great day playing in the woods.

It was a great day playing in the woods.

I shall have to join you lot at some point (though my old bow is utterly useless now. It's actually bowed (in an odd direction, I mean)

I got my fun day playing in the woods yesterday

Tonight I'm setting up for the video and baking a new batch of Hudson Bay Bread to last the winter (hell, it'll last at least 6 months)

I am afraid you have to be a signed off member to shoot at the club.

Easily done...

 

[Big Stu 12]

Easily done...

you'll have to bring your bow to the meet give it a go, see how it goes .

I am hoping Steve may join us for a meet some time ... "wink Wink"

I'm wondering if I can straighten the bow (It's literally bowed to the left... about 15 degrees). That said, it's 11 years old, was very cheap, has been moved at least 8 times from home to home and improperly stored.

I'm in the market for a new bow!

 

[ozzy1977]

What bow is it Simon?
