had an inter uni competition in dundee yesterday. was a fun social shoot and BBQ to finish off the year. it was called the 2nd anual grrrrudge match but none of us really had any grudges.
we weere shooting on the dundee sports field which is at the end of dundee airports runway....we were shooting about 200m from the end of the runway. if any pilots came on a lower approach than they were meant to, which was about all of them, we could have hit them if we tried
. apparently on club nights in the past they have been asked to move further away by the airport guys.
we had a very VERY strong cross wind. in the gusts the arrows were blowing off my rest and that was with a magnetic clicker. im considering getting a spring clicker for windy shoots. other than that the weather was excelent: only one short shower and decent sunny spells. i managed to get sunburn on the backs of my hands haha!
round was a windsor for all. i found it much nicer to shoot than the albion at my first outdoor a few weeks ago which was just a silly range for novices in a cross wind. yesterday i scored 599. top recurve was a dundee novice with 610. strathclyde came last, beaten by dundee by 1 point.
