Hello Peter,
Great site, looks like you have a lot of fun in Oxfordshire! It's good to see a club doing some serious archery for a change and not the usual run of the mill target archery.
Anyway I'm contacting you to let you know of a new shoot which will be occuring at Stowe Landscaped Gardens just outside Buckingham on September the third that will be hosted by the Pickwick Pepperpots. The shoot is a heavy longbow meet and should become an annual event, full details can be found on my website
www.englishwarbow.com/heavy.html I see that you quote the Fraternity of St George a lot, do any of you shoot with the Finsbury Mark and the Pickwick Pepperpots as they do a lot of marks shoots in the midlands.
........ but we've since been told it is cancelled.
If anyone knows otherwise please let me know on here and I will reinstate on our club website.
Incidentally the 'English Warbow' site is very imformative on longbows in general - well worth a read
Mr Peasant ..... Pip Bickerstaffe specialises in the heavy bows (he supplies the Stretton bows - world record at over 200 lbs !!!)
