Well it wasn't as hot as last week, but we finished just as wet. Ray started with a magnificent burst and had reached 150 by target 8. Man he was shooting well. Garry had scored 340 out of 340 at target 17, 3 targets to go, 400 maybe, in the 390's almost guaranteed. Boy is archery a funny sport Garry found a way to finish with 376. We didn't talk much about it afterwards and outwardly Garry was really upbeat, but it must have hurt. Alastair and Brett were, as usual, all calm & collected and both finished with very acceptable scores given the constant rain for the last half of the course. Rain has got to be the natural enemy of Freestyle unlimited shooters. First the scope gets wet, then the peep and then for visually challenged archers, their glasses fog up. This results in complete but temporary blindness. I can see through each piece by it's self but put the 3 together and I wouldn't see a heard of Elephants at 15 yards.Glenn, Cec and Liam were swept away in the wall of water that crashed down on them from the heavens. Fortunately Granddad arrived back at the club house in time to make my victory cuppa tea. Let me repeat that dear reader.......MY VICTORY CUPPA.
