What do you take to shoots with you? I make sure I brink a popabivy, tea and sandwiches, my trusty chair and of course my bow. Do you bring anything more unusual? I once bought a portable to to also catch the F1.

Bow, scope or binos, couple of quid. Oh, and a chair, although I can't remember where I've put it...

Bow, arrows, string+spare, tab+spare, button+spare, spare rest, spare nocks & fletchings, tools, superglue, micropore, scope, stand, bungee to tie down stand. Lots of grub, plenty of fluids, tent, comfy chair, waterproofs, gaiters, handwarmers, sun lotion, water spray for cooling me down, towel, face cloth, wooly hat, gloves, inesct repellant, talcum powder.

That's the main things... I won't bore you with the details

Murray, you missed 'camels' and 'porters'

Just make sure it fits in your bag so you only carry minimal amounts - less chance of forgeting something.....like a mallet for knocking in the tent pegs!!

Don't forget the sunglasses AND CAKE

I have my hated tent, a pop-a-bivy type whcih is slightly different from most. The handy instructions on folding it up make it easy to do - if you are an 8-foot giant. So, if I'm on my own i tend to leave it behind; if the weather's good I don't need it, if the weather's bad it's impossible to put away (my record is 40 minutes in a thunderstorm at Andover, which started just as I had taken out the last peg. Also i once nearly got barred from a flight to Belfast because I refused to open it up to show the security wonks that the suspicious strips that showed up on x-ray weren't semtex).
So essentials include wooly hat for all seasons.
