I'm writing this in a state of euphoric happiness, what a beautiful day, little to no wind about 25 degrees, wow! Just how good can it get. Car after car arrived, every second car that arrived contained a family that we didn't recognise. At one stage we had more newcomers than old members. Grandad was down at the practice range with 2 families whilst I was entertaining another newcomer, as I escorted them to the practise range another car load arrived. Fortunately Brett also arrived and we were able to hand a new Family to him. Dave had arrived with his daughter who is about 5, then two little girls tumbled out of one of the cars & the 3 off them had a ball playing together. It was lovely to see. Several wives came to watch their partners or sons have a go at our sport. Cupcake was delighted to see so many ladies. Whilst on that Gary from Nambucca arrived with Zac But no wife. Could I make a formal request that The boss in Gary's family please, please come Karen & Gloria would love to see you. The scores on the day were simply unbelievable Steve came in with a massive 386 and looked like claiming the day till Dave wondered in with a jaw dropping 392. He didn't say much as we all sat around afterwards but the total look of contentment oozed from every pore, he was one very happy chappy. Young Zac Ward had a PB of 338. Gary who had travelled up from down Port way, told me he had an absolute ball, even helped with the housework. Gloria held her new bow for the first time, a beautiful Pearl White Hoyt Rampage XT she scored 316, which is about average, what made it special was she had no sight marks and had only shot about 12 arrows from the bow. As most of you know MVA is the home of one of world sports greatest rivalries Grandad, Cola Karen & Teabag wage war on a weekly basis. As a relative new comer to the intense world of sporting warfare Cola Karen is becoming a real threat. Teabag finished 2011 on a high, but since 2012 ticked around Grandad has climbed to unassailable heights, week after week he has ground Teabag into the dirt, last week at Taree his victory was so decisive poor old Teabag was only a shadow of his normal self, confidence totally destroyed, frustration erupting like a volcano. Almost totally relegated to a state of total inadequacy. Teabag must have made about 5,000 cups of tea, (our wager on the outcome) Now roll on 24 March Teabag returns one of his best scores ever and Grandad returns just an average score for this year...... WE TIED!!!! Yahoo teabag is back. Scribe Neil displayed incredible skill, Neil is a finger shooter and on a long down hill series 5 target He stood at full draw, arrow ready to launch. Then in the blink of an eye, he released and removed the arrow from the string. The shaft fell to his feet and the resultant dry fire echoed around the valley. Neil gingerly examined his bow. his state of mind was not helped by the comment that the next shot would tell him if every thing was OK. Then as calm as you like he sent 3 arrows into the target. when your hot your hot.
Scores for the day:-Feathers Dave 392, Don't mention me Steve 386, Coins Alastair 384, Don't tie with me Brett 380, Scribe Neil 372, Hitchhiker Dion, Grandad Cec & Teabag 370, Homebrew Garry 366, Big Zac 364, Holiday Park Gary 342, Little Zac 338 PB, Cupcake Gloria 316, Fingers Ray 324, Yellow Peg Stewart 348, South Side Gary 254, Liam 214, BP Glenn 356.
