At which point do you realise you left something important at home ?

[Flandyman]

wife left her handbag at parents home once - thats Lincoln - we got to Monmouth about 9:45 pm on a Sunday on the way back home to S Wales when she realised - house keys ! I was quite polite all the way back to Lincoln and back to Wales - of course being a man anything I ever left was intentional

Did it for the first time ever last week. Left my quiver behind. Fortunately that only leaves me missing one of my matched pair of tabs (in case I forget one, of course) & I can survive without a belt quiver for a session... no, hang on, I got the spare (dry) tab out when it was p***ing down with rain at the Salisbury FITA & on autopilot put it safely away...in my quiver

I've had 3 similar things
1) not archery, but I once drove 1.5 hours to setup a network for a 24hour gaming night and left 2 10c terminators behind. After much hacking to try and make it work I conceeded and drove home and got them, 3 hour round trip.

2) Turned up to a field shoot and my wife had left her release at home. She borrowed my back tension. It was a limited edition Zenith in the US flag anodizing which I liked alot. I never got it back. 3 years later it's still her #1 release

3) Beat this one. Me and my Dad went with an archery dealer to a Nationals to assist him in running a stall there. When we arrived and were unpacking my Dad said "did you pack the arrow tube?". "No", I said, "I thought you had".
This was after a 9 hour drive. :lol:

The same time it moves from 'superfluous' to 'essential'.......

When stood in the queue to register at the shoot. Hand goes to back pocket to get wallet and GNAS cards. No wallet. Damn green trousers.

Yup
Guilty as charged.
Picked Mrs P up from her school to go straight to a 2dayer one Friday afternoon when ten miles up the road she started going through the check list,tent food clothes arrows bows DOH!!!
U turn and off back home get bows.
Then there was the time I'd finished a field shoot and packing everything away a friend said "Don't forget your quiver leaning against the front of the car"
"Dont be silly" I said
"Golly what a frightful nuisance" I thought later when I got home.

OK SVL, I am sorry that I am the one who never lets you forget this....but I will now come clean.
When leaving Cheshire to return to Uni in Scotland to print out and submit my PhD thesis, I arrived to find I had left my hard drive at home containing said thesis! Result....twelve hours driving for a four hour journey. Don't worry we all have the "muppet" moments.

Just as I'm about to step up to the line................................ mmm, arrows?

Luckily, it was only a club night, so as a penance I scored Tinkerbell's sheet.
