Seems to be an excess of testosterone in this group. I guess it goes with the territory :)

I'm easy to find at an NFAS Field shoot. I'm the one carrying an armchair between the pegs....
But seriously, it would be nice to see more of you blokes shooting in field archery, there is nothing to prevent you since the only criteria are that you have sufficient command of the bow to shoot safely (which is something required of everyone), mark your shafts clearly as first, second and third arrows, write your name on every shaft and use piles or field points.
There is no restriction on draw-weight as such, only an arrow speed limit of 300 fps.
And bowhunting was after all not unknown to our ancestors.
The second time I met Mark Stretton was at an NFAS field shoot.
It seems to me that Alistair has made a sensible enough decision about awarding the purse from an attendance point of view. The rules as they stand will probably encourage more heavy bow entrants than awarding it on hits.
But it is the publishing of hits that will inform us more usefully and set a benchmark that will be a starting point for more serious consideration of the question of accuracy.
