After announcing mrs robbo's limb error it's only fair that I come clean about an error of mine that happened at the back end of last summer.
Had arranged to meet a couple of members up the field one sunday morning for a short metric round. As usual I was the first to arrive (impatient as ever) so I proceeded to get the field set up ready for the shoot.
We proceeded with the sighters and were all confused in the fact that we were all low, some even going right under the boss. There was some frantic sight checking and cross checking with the trusty sight mark book...'everything seems ok' was the general remark when we had finished checking our figures.
...after about the first 18 arrows or so and much talk about why we started out so low we were returning from the boss...and as I remember it I walked over the 50M disc that is in the ground...
I'd only gone and stuck the boss at the 60yard marker rather than the 50M one
. After much micky taking the boss was placed where it should be and sight marks also returned to where they should be.
In my defence, only the metric discs on our field are marked with what they are, but the 60yard mark has a face on it which at certain angles on a sunday morning resembles black felt tip saying 50M...yeah I know...there's no defence.
