| It's alota fun
I'm sure, that quite often, someone at your club will suggest a fun shoot for some reason. Well I'm not of the belief that sport should be fun. "Fun" is a sort of flimsy word suggestive of frivolity. Sport should be enjoyable, not fun! Surely we're not the fun brigade, attending our archery clubs for fun.
OK, rant over for now. But can somebody think up a different terminology for this kind of activity.
There is a reason for this message though. Often these "fun" shoots entail fastening something to the target and shooting at it - Balloons/bang/waagh - ha ha - fun - see?
Perhaps it would be more "fun" if there was some point to the "fun" shoot so that it becomes a proper competition of some sort. Maybe some of you already have figured this out and are having different, interesting types of competition and maybe you don't call them "fun". If so, or if you can think of any, then I'd like to know. Or maybe you don't agree with me and are of the opinion that everything should be fun, fun fun. If so tell me.
Good shooting to you all (but no fun)
