RE: Archery exhibitions & demonstrations?

We do exhibition shooting. (Gwynn and I are known exibitionists, or shouldn't I be admitting to that?)
It takes a lot of time, effort and investment just to get things ready for a display. The actual show itself is great fun.
Check out the Purbrook Bowmen section of www.purbrookbowmen.org.uk for details of what we do. We find that the medieaval style is what most people expect from an archery display, and they are dissapointed with a display of modern archery. We then take the opportunity to promote the modern sport when talking to the public after our display. What we have done in the past is work with a target club who run a have a go set up allongside our displays. This works very well as people are drawn in by the history and then see that it is a modern sport all round, and decide to have a go.
(We would be prepared to travel, but only if all our expenses are met)
