Foxes - Western 4th June

[pwiles1968]

My First Comp today and thanks the the people at foxes for putting it on, wow that was an experience, I think I stopped shaking by the second dozen to shoot a moderately respectable 815, came 3rd of 3 but no shame there as I think the other two scores were 852 and 858 I could have just sat and watched the guys shoot . Maybe in a few years I may have a chance

Oh and the DMU guys and galls looked like they did Ok on proper bows

Was not too bothered about the score actually my comment about in a few years was more about being able to shoot as well as those guys. I did enjoy the day your fellow members were very nice.

I need to send in an envelope to get my score card back for my 2nd class grading forgot to send one with my entry form .

i kinda know one of those compound guys. he is from my home town and recently just come back to shooting. he is quite approachable though and has a well of knowledge regarding compounds, so maybe worth having a chat to him sometime.

was a really good shoot though and i really enjoyed it, good to hear you did too and im sure you will get the competition bug now

ps. doubletop - may try and get it into the uni paper but could be a bit late now, ah well.
