I have just attended a really nice shoot down in Arundown, thanks to the organisers for a great day.
However, just a small moan about some archers on the shooting line that seem to have no idea about how to shoot or have any manners.
I had one such person next to me who at least twice failed to load his arrow properly onto his rest which result in the arrow buzzing across about three targets, once whilst I was at full draw ready to execute the shot. Lucky I held it together and got on with it. OK, the arrow wasn't close to the shooting line, but not putting arrows on rest properly is asking for trouble.
Secondly, the same archer gets a bouncer, and instead of stepping back from the shooting line and alerting the judge with a quiet word, he proceeds to hollow out that he had a bouncer from the line. The judge in fairness just looked at him and shook his head.
Hi , I was planning on attending a few competitions this outdoor season and was thinking about investing in a shelter of some kind .
It has been 20 yrs since I last did an outdoor comp and so I wondered what was available now , how big is "normal" sized and what would be suitable .
As ever I am looking for the most cost effective solution that does the job , I don't want to be able to hold a wedding reception!!
Hi All,
It seems coincidental that there should be a current discussion regarding the Worcester round. We held our Worcester tournament last week end, and it is becoming evident that with high quality archers shooting modern compounds it is possible for more than one of them to finish the day with the same score of 300 or 299. The usual methods of counting back to resolve a tie will be unable to separate them. It was, however, suggested to me that if the white "gold" had the equivalent of the Metric X ring inserted in it, then the Xs could be recorded and used as an additional tie breaker. I concede that this would be a change too the existing face, so could not be introduced immediately as time would be needed for existing stocks of faces to be consumed. It could also lead to the need to change faces more frequently. It would, however, be a solution to a problem that is suspect may get worse. What do you think?
Regards,
Dave
