anyone here remember the kirby muxloe weekends, with the fancy dress parties. how much alcohol was consumed on the saturday nights. how many were drunk on the line or didnt shoot on the sunday.( no one )

that was WAS the best shoot in the country. the archers world record status fita, fun weekend. then what happens oh dear too much happiness here, the club must have lost £100s not to mention the club house.

a certain person that doesn't shoot anymore had more scotch in him on a sat morn than most people have in a month. he was never a risk, or a problem. theres enough people on the field to secure any issues. why make more rules. when there obviously isnt a case to answer.

i can remember when the GNAS rules of shooting was 5 pages in a 4 inch x 3 inch booklet.

buzz bring the beer to lilleshall. LMP your on the southern comfort.

LMP ask the main man he passed drug test after lunch.

archers enjoy your sport, meet new people, buy them a drink. we wont be able to afford beer soon

You must be as old as you look! Meth-usela comes to mind. Pickled for preservation?
I heard that the Kirby Muxloe shoot has a separate non-WRS "field" especially for the drunk at heart.

I don't mind anyone having a drink and/or a puff during a shoot, so long as they are fully aware of the wishes and safety of all others who are in attendance also

longbow archers dont count as they miss 25% of the time and the drink keeps them suppressed.

oh i do shoot a longbow now and then. but i do aim on the gold at 100 yds.lol
