World IFAA indoor match 19/1/13

Well,well,well. That was interesting. In my wildest dreams I never thought we would get 10 shooters turn up to give the indoor a go. The range had been set up and all that needed to be added was a 6mtr. marque over the butts and the shooting line carefully measured and marked out. Unfortunatelly somebody left the side windows open and the cross gale was blowing its socks off. Still it did drop the temp to a very pleasant level. I think all who shot enjoyed the event. It was funny cramming 3 weeks normal shooting into the first day back. Bow fitness or lack of it took its toll on several shooter, Grandads good end of year form carried through to this round  whilst brothers Dion & Martin went at it hammer and tongue. (see the scores.) Husband and wife team Karen & Alastair finished 9 points apart with all round honours to Alastair. Garry jammed himself between them and was the dark horse of the day. The bare bow section was a bit light on with only Donald & Ray. Ray was interesting to watch every alternate  end had really tight groups interspaced with oh! damn type groups. Granddad had one arrow that was occompanied by loud noices of air escaping from his aged body. Poor granddad. Cup cake went better in the second half than the first, she was shooting nice groups but only around the edge of the 5. I actually expected the 5 to drop out.
Scores for the day:- Coins Alastair 290, Home brew Garry 285, Cola Karen 281, Martin McFly 275, Hitchhiker Dion 274, Cupcake Gloria 250, Fingers Ray BB  239, Scribe Neil 239, Granddad Cec 223. Donald where's your trophy BB 108.
Next week is the official start of the club year, till then
Cheers Tea bag
