3 arrow Nov 20th

Once again Uncle Cec's band of merry archers gathered in the shaded glens , under the emerald green canopy of Tamban forest. The recent rain had really caused our babbeling brooks to babble, whilst the beautiful late spring sunshine created dappled patterns across the wet boggy paths. Only 12 tried & true members were prepared to accept the challenge which Uncle Cec decreed would be 20 targets of a max of3 arrows with the first hit to score. Battle plans were drawn up and our band divided into 3 groups. the main offensive would be handled by the senior archers of Uncle Cec, Range master Shane, Feathers Dave and Sponge Tim. Group 2 would comprise of our fit junior members Son of range master Jacob, Bowless Aaron, Young Maid Cassie & tired Dion. Just on this, this was a really bad choice for second group as anarchy ruled & no decision could be reached as to who should shoot, the maths involved in scoring was almost beyond our quartet and only daylight saving saved us from finishing by torch. The final group was undoubtedly the cream of the band, picked for their ability to mop up after the battle It comprised of DJ Gene, don't mention me Steve. Handsome Mike & Fairest of maidens Gloria.

Due to Executive chef Darrin being away and the BBQ not arriving we feasted on nuts & dry apricots. Sorry but this just didn't do it for me. Oh have I mentioned Steve was with us! The results of the days efforts are listed below:

Tired Dion 392, Range Master Shane 382, Son of rangemasterJacob 380, Feathers Dave 376, DJ Gene 374, Don't mention me STEVE 374PB, Uncle Cec 372, Handsome Mike 370, Sponge Tim 360, Bowless Aaron 348, Fairest of maidens Gloria 340, Young Maid Cassie 280

Steve shot a personal best, due in no small part to the fantastic group he was in.

Thanks to everybody who turned up for a great day. Next Sunday is a working Bee to start the IFAA range so please try to come even if it's only for a brief time. We are also trying to organise a bus trip to the Archery expo. So if you are interested let us know. Aaron & Glen are kindly trying to source prices for buses and cost will reflect how many are interested.

cheers Mike
