If your doing to screw up...

...make sure you've got a mod, admin and assembled NoCo folk witnessing it.

So, rocked up at NoCo today. Signed in, got a target and playing card, wondered off, strung bow. My clicker moves when it's in it's case, so I put all my bits together, grabbed an arrow and promptly aimed into a very loosely wooded area (best defined as a dying hedge with a fence and a few oak trees). Drew the bow, found the clicker to be in *exactly* the right place. So much so, that I executed a decent release immediately after the click. Still aimed at the bushes.

D'oh.

Few expletives muttered, Dumped bow on Reptile, and attempted to climb over said fence that was reinforced with barbed wire. Non starter at the first place, tried a less thick area, climbed over and had a brief hunt for said arrow. Arrow survived, minus a nock.

Nav's are holocaust-proof.

LMP should at this juncture be able to provide a picture of me wedged over the fence trying to recover myself.

I've heard of armchair archers, and good weather archers, but i've never heard of hedgerow archers. or should that be bushy archers?

That's the trouble with navigators' they are always getting lost.
