Well, I haven't had much sleep yet (yes, it's two days since the weekend), but damn did I have fun!!!
On Saturday it was the British University Outdoor Champs.... I went, I saw and I got very wet.... several times!!! Yes, there was a lot of sun, and it lasted long enough to dry us out, right before the rain started up again!! It was a very long shoot (we started at 8.30am, finished at 7pm) and at the end of the day I came seventh!!!
That would have been ok, but I also wanted to shoot at the Neath Open the very next day.
This meant that after a very long competition, in not the best of weather, I then had a long drive with the prospect of another long shoot the next day.
Oh boy.
For the first couple hours it rained. The words 'Soaked' and 'Through' would apply. Thankfully it then warmed up, the sun came out and it finished great. Mainly because I finished second.
:D
And at practise the next day I was playing with my spare arrows and I was doing..... fairly ok as you can see.* If you're interested the target was set at 60yds (for those of you who don't know yardage, it's about 180m!!!) ;o)
* sorry for the size, it looks better larger
