With all the associated events, displays, competitions and just the general ambiance - 500 archers make a whole lot better event than just 30 or 40, and the fact that this is a Festival of Archery and nt just the usual competition must make it a little more special.
Don't knock someone for saying how good another shoot might be - just make yours interesting enough to attract them to yours as well ! |

I'm not sure if you are thinking I am having a go or not, I can asure you I am not. If this is what it takes and by the sound of it it probably is, then the people to convince are the governing body. GNAS are not noted for treating their Cinderella section with too much respect but there is always hope!
I have just come back from the NFAS National Champs, no 3D there either but still over 500 archers there to enjoy it!!!
