One d*mn thing after another

With ScoCo approaching and never having shot metric before I thought I'd use today to get some sight marks.

1) set up at 50m using my 60y marks as a rough start, shot 24 arrows all over the target before realising I'd forgotten to put the plunger in.
2) start again and shoot 30 arrows, fine tuning my sight before realising I'd put the target out at 50y not 50m
3) start again, set up at 50m and shoot 30 arrows before realising I've had my limbs on upside down throughout
4) start again, shoot one arrow before the Club groundsman comes over and tells me I have to pack up because the field is being used for a cricket match.
5) pack up and clear the field, get half way home before realising I'd left my bow behind.

All in all, a very productive afternoon

I think this is one of those times you just need to put down to experience, then laugh about in the future, lol.

Things can only get better!

I love that one! It makes you feel life is against you, but it's fun to read.
Archery is all about repetition; so when you doing it again??

Fortunately the only thing that was damaged was my reputation for being a calm and level headed person when I got to stage 4, ( I did apologise to him later )

I think it's up to Dave to decide who is Fonzworthy! I gotta say, though, that is quite a list of gaffs, Chris. Not to mention you were the guy who shot his bow down the range at the weekender. I think you've got Fonz in your blood. If you don't get it this time, you will eventually. Trust me.

To be honest, I was only going to award the Fonz if you'd have reversed over your bow while leaving the car park.... But, you really seem to be going for it Chris, so I'd better award it now before you do some serious damage! Enjoy the little chap and welcome to the club
