What to do whilst it is bucketing down.
A Meal Fit For A King
What Archers will drive through for a weekend away. Well, we can certainly organize some rain, our Club Invitational Branch Shoot was almost washed out over the weekend, and after all the great week ends we’ve had lately, But we’re a hardy lot and those who got through had a go despite the wet. 18 archers competed in the lecherous (leeches galore!) conditions, it was a bit slippery out there and a there was a whole lot of the running stuff underfoot. The official branch shoot was called off but we ran a club shoot anyway. (We didn't drive through all that water for nothing.)
First up on Saturday morning was the 3 arrow round and thankfully we caught a break with no rain while we were out on the Goanna range. Unfortunately the afternoon was unkind as most got a drenching in the 1 Arrow Round before they completed the course. The uncomfortable conditions didn’t seem to worry Macleay Valley Archer Jacob Fuit as he top scored for the day with a pair of 394 scores. Brett Hodgeman also reveled in the wet with a 390 and backed it up with 382, each out of a possible 400 points.
After a belly warming breakfast on Sunday, it was decided that we call off the 2 arrow round in favor of an early mark to get home in daylight.
A big thank you to Karen, Neil, Narelle & Kathy for all their work in the kitchen.
It was still a great week end and I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like warming themselves in front of the fire when it’s a bit wet under foot.
