New Year Shooting at the Medieval Butts
Rod:
Results?
Yeomanbowman:
Joe Gibbs won the event and shot a whole day with 160+lb bows, very impressive. He was the only archer to hit the face of the butt, in future we will angle the face a little I think. About 4-6 archers were always getting the distance both ends with heavy arrows and in the afternoon session the number of arrows that would have scored in a rove increased a lot. A really good fun shoot that was in keeping with medieval shooting.

Well done Joe. Would have loved to have seen the bow he was shooting. I hope everyone who turned up had a great time.

Warning! The butts will not be real scheduled ancient monuments, [nor would there be any attempt to make a butt of approximately mediaeval description], but made of hay bales.
I would also like to caution those that buy medieval music on CD that this will not actually have been recorded from a live session before the end of the 15th C despite what it may say on the label.:D

However the music might be actial mediaeval pieces of music recorded last month from a live session using reproduction mediaeval instruments. That's called re-enactment.
Anyway, congratulations on the shoot you had. It sounds like great fun, and I wish I could have seen it.
Cheers
Erik
