You know you're an archer when...

[hooktonboy]

Just have to share this one as it happened this morning. Really it did!

You know you're an archer when....

Your wife (who is in hospital at the time) rings you up and plays hell because the flowers she's just had delivered off her mum were in a box marked "Fletchers", and she thought I'd sent her a box of arrows! As if!

[tracy137]

you begin wonder if your much loved damson tree can be cut down so it gives you a bit of extra target length in your garden.

your parents tell you to shut up as you wave your new GNAS card under their noses for the umpteenth time.

your husband accuses you of brainwashing your daughter into taking up archery too.

you decide you can really do without those new jeans, despite your old ones making you look like a tramp, just so you can get some new arrows.

you're hiding new archery equipment from your other half and not clothes anymore. Though "I bought it in a sale" is a little harder to get away with now if caught.

you're asking for archery equipment for birthday's, etc rather than that great new cd you liked, or even that really expensive perfume/aftershave you love.

you would rather put the money toward a new bow than a new gold ''triple a'' tanzanite ring or get soaking wet through to your skin just so you can shoot those extra few dozen b4 wet rot sets in

Quoting Furface outside the clubhouse tonight, 'you reach in a pocket and it's full of target pins and balloons...'

You know you an archer when..

You make you AS Computing Project a fully working Archery Scoring program (Portsmouth round only)

You program a PIC to run a shooting line control system that produces both light and sound outputs.

You debate if you should go to your sisters graduation because it would clash with archery practise.

You spend the better part of an hour tweaking your arrow rest instead of going out with mates

You go and work at the Royal Welsh Show just so that you can have almost enough to buy a set of new limbs.

I've got another one

You know your an archer when you have a sure-loc sticker on your mp3 player

You know you're a (field) archer when.....

in an electrical shop, you look at a wildlife programme on a plasma TV and the first thought is "big game face, 45 yard 1st shot"....

(and the wife hits you for it........)

You knowyou're an archer when you accept offers to have your piles removed with a blowlamp;and put back.

I can't see the screen, my eyes are watering too much after that last post...
