Hey Timppa! Cool looking web site... Shame I couldn't understand a word- I tried Google's auto-translate but it wouldn't have it!

Thanks.

Finnish is not the easiest language for auto-translaters.

If you want to see my pics in my web, just click VALOKUVAT.

Hmmmm... I like the idea of this, Timppa - 70m indoor shooting

Ah Dave, you've obviously never been to the indoor venue at Lilleshall
Up in Scotland, the squad have been priveleged to go to an airforce base in Lossiemouth at the start of the last two seasons to get sightmarks and tuning up to 70m in one of their aircraft hangers. It's great fun, but the steel doors and concrete floors are not very forgiving of a miss! (as if I would LOL)

[Dave]

I've not Murray

But I am trying to convince Tina and the next door neighbour to allow me to extend my garden shed to 70m

Started 1971, dropped out in '85, came back in in '89, and have been "at it" ever since. 8~)

Now all I have to do is learn to shoot properly, and I'll be happy...

You're in good company here then. Speaking for myself, I still have trouble remembering which way the arrow goes on (is it pointy bit at the front or the back?)

Awesome! I'm looking for something similar in AUS, being able to practise 70m indoor would be a huge advantage. We have had nothing but wind all year down here.

I've been shooting for ~10 years now. Did a lot of shooting up to 99, then had plenty of time off. Did a bit more shooting 2002/03, and am hoping to start again soon
Archery seems to be something that never leaves you!
