You must have seen the video of Simon hitting a road sign at 200yds go to him and say it was a fluke,

Which video do you refer to Ian, I am aware of two versions of this, one I looked at again today which shows one arrow in the mark, another which finishes with three in the mark.
Look again and tell me exactly what you see.
In fact post links here to these clips.

this shows him land 3 or 4 close and 1 hit, if he did that all day like they will on the 10th then we shouldl get some results

be very much a target archer and will not understand the medieval bow, which is obviously why he has to pick at the
Medieval Butts name.

With the exception of flight shooting, isn't ALL archery "target archery"

Ian ..I'm not asking you to argue with myself or anyone.I'm merely pointing out that with the exception of flight shooting, all archery is target archery ..... even ... shooting at medieval butts or hay bales whatever the case may be
