Hi jb.68

Only my second time on a 3D shoot. Went around with Jeremy, Steve and his son. Got soaked, broke a bow and scored 296 from the 32 targets.

Cheers, Outcaste

LOL. Getting soaked is par for the course in field shooting, especially if you shoot on the Welsh borders. I recall one time getting so wet and cold that I took off my waterproofs and put on wet woollens to get warm and the only part of me that wasn't soaked was the inside of the pouch on my quiver set and only then because I had not opened it all day.

Another time we shot in sleet and were held up behind a group with an incompetent crossbow archer who had to look in the dead leaves and snow for his bolt on almost every target. FRF wanted us to jump his group, but I said that no way was I going to be anywhere on that field course where I could not clearly see this idiot in front of me....

BTW FRF has a three clout end badge that was given him by Bert Smith when he put three consecutive arrows in the clout (36" diameter) at 180 yards, so with a little practice you might be able to hit a man sized figure at 100 or so...
Keep trying...
Rod.

Rod:
I note with interest that no-one has yet done this.....
