International IFAA & Eco shoot 3/8/13

Hi all, Big day we just had very pleasant and lots of arrows. We also had the Dynamic duo join. 2 little 8 year old twins are our latest members. Good on you dad for letting them have a go. Only 1 rule they are not allowed to beat the Tubby old bald fellow. Welcome to the club. Whilst on all things new  Macleay Valley Archers is a shooting club with weekly competitions. As a shooting club our insurer places some requirements upon us re what we can and can't do. As a result all visitors who wish to shoot must be there before Noon. We have to be satisfied that you can indeed shoot, before allowing you on the ranges. Arriving after noon is not fair to the volunteers who do the assessments and those that make up the shoot groups.

A word of warning, if you have the choice, do not shoot with Kiss of Death. He is pleasant to shoot with but frightfully expensive to all with him. To give you an idea what to expect a brief run down of Saturday arvo. Target 3 Kiss of Death (KOD) for short loses one of his own arrows, last seen heading just to the left of the space station. Target 6 KOD stands next to cup cake her arrow falls off bow, Knock still attached to string, very gloomy look on face. KOD 2, arrows nil. Target 10 KOD stands near Tea bag, Tea bag breaks arrow. KOD 3, arrows nil. Target 14 KOD pulls arrows from Butt all's good so far hands arrows to Cup Cake and Tea Bag, still all's good. KOD hands 2 arrows to Glenn who takes them lovingly in his right hand, holding them at the fletches. KOD lets go and as we all watch one of Glenn's arrows adopts a right angle bend and hangs limply in his hand. KOD 4, arrows nil. Proof positive that nobody or no thing stands a chance against the destructive powers that manifest them selves around KOD.

The club had Ken Smith visit for the weekend. Ken broke the unwritten rule by winning the morning round. Tea Bag beat the wife in the morning but she thrashed him in the Arvo I think she shoot a PB. All in all I think the top performance for the Day belonged to Sneezy Kath.  who shot a 500 from the red peg. Not only was this a PB it was the first time from the red peg and only a few shoots from her very first effort. Really well done Kath. I should mention Brett's PB a massive 778 Well done to all.
