Rod,
The results of our shoots are always posted on the EWBS website but in this case they were always to be posted on PA, as it is a tread here (total hits on the butts and closest to the garland). So if that's all that's stopping you and Mr. French it would be a pleasure to have you both there.

Sounds to me like it's put-up or shut-up time for some people.

Interesting how some folks can find the meaning they want by reading between the lines.
(And that none of you have commented upon my mischievous 16.2 (13.5 actually) which would produce a score in PB territory for primitive and very near to it in longbow).
But then when your focus has been on more upon draw weight and how far they go for so long, and where they go is attendant upon mastery of the weight, it is understandable that accuracy will tend to be neglected in the beginning.
If and when I got back into shooting a heavier weight, it would be fun to attend, but preferably somewhere more centrally located.
This event is a positive step if it generates more interest on a hitherto neglected area and opens the door to methodically benchmarking probable accuracy and increasing our knowledge of the heavy bow and its capabilities in the hands of those who have mastered it.
As for the amusing innuendo about shooting technique.... :)
Rod.
