...when you know what Barwick Green is.

...when people can tell your brand of brace from your sunburn.

When the surgen says that after an operation on your neck you might need a solid metal cage drilled in your head and connected to your coller bone, the first thing you say is how the hell do you shoot like that but quickly work out that you could use a tactile sight that the VI's use, you don't need to turn your head for that.

Or you take your daughters 18th birthday cake to wales Archery shop because we're all going to be there anyway. (Thankyou Barbara and Graham)

Or when your son tells you the baby is due on August 24th you say congratulations whilst trying not to be to obvious about looking at the callender on the wall in the front room that the happy event doesn't clash with any tournaments.

My mobile phone used to be my first podium but now its my team mates and me.

When you spit after saying the name Pr*gen. That is a swear word isn't it?

When you have to reintroduce yourself to the family on the odd weekend that you are at home !!! And no matter how hard you try, archery always seems to get in on the act somewhere !!!

This weekend went to Aberdeen for a "remember me, quality time" session. Ended up shopping for waterproofs and warm clothing to wear when shooting !! This WASN'T intentional but a quilted green Regatta fleece, and a full set of Regatta Heavy duty green waterproofs (didn't want blue - no-one would know they were new !!!) for just for under £35 (all in) in the sale was not to be sniffed at !!! Think maybe the family didn't see it quite that way - was it laughter or mild hysteria that I heard when I was trying the things on ???!!!

You know you're an archer when you can't remember cooking a sunday lunch and the kids don't evenknow that there is such a thing because sunday's are always spent in a field.

and you have to ask the question why God had to pick Sunday when he must have known we would all be out shooting.

ROTFL!

That's when you know your an archer that partakes in archery forums.

His name should not be mentioned, so as not to call him from across the 'net.
