Kirby F.I.T.A and double 70M

[Lowfat]

Anyone shooting next weekend ? i am shooting the double 70M on the Sunday , it will be the biggest competition i have entered so far and my first Metric.

i have 3 targets for the day :

1. hit the target !
2. do not make a prat of myself ( well no more than usual anyway )
3. beat my PB

if you are coming i will see you there , i am on boss 15 with Ben from Merlin (good thinking from the organisers as he will be using the 10 zone and i will be using the rest of the target )

How did the Sunday go?

I shot/swam the Saturday but when the rain woke me up before my alarm on Sunday morning so I thought sod it and turned over.....

I did had the privelige of seeing Morphy Mick in shorts all day on the Saturday. I dont know if that had anything to do with the rain.

I wasn't surprised when you didn't turn up on the Sunday. It was actually a really nice morning and I managed a 644 to Mike's 649. The afternoon was greeted with rain... LOTS of it!!! I barely scraped 600 for the second session but others managed much better than me, with Tom pulling out a 641 (was it?), despite the rain of Biblical proportions. Then the results took over an hour to complete before the awards ceremony where 4-5 of the archers who won a medal were still hanging around.

Overall, not really a worthwhile day but different, to say the least.

Oxford's rain was still worse!

Cool another good call from myself then.


What were the Final FITA Results?

IIRC, it was something like:
Me - 1st with 1296
Michael - 2nd with 1289
Tom B - 3rd with 1269 (?)

You won a distance medal, though I can't for the life of me remember what distance it was... could have been 90m.

Well done on the GMB score though! Have you done any others yet this year?

And I would have got 3rd if it wasn't for that pesky kid! - Never thought I'd ever say that.

God I'm getting Old. I've just realised that my PB is older than Tom Barber....
