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

A few years ago but.....

I once travelled down to a shoot at Grange Over Sands only to get there, (just over an hour and half latter, along the twisty narrow coast road and over the fells), to discover that I had left the bow at home

Did stay for before heading home.
Even to this day about six years latter nobody lets me forget.

At a shoot a couple of years ago, one of the irish archers realised he'd forgotten his string!! Hazel give him one of her spares, and he said he shot better than with his own! She didn't let him keep it though

I once went away to a competition and left my sightmarks at home! Unfortunately, my ex wasn't great at reading my handwriting, so even though she found them, it was a hit and miss deciphering job. I think all but one were ok. *phew*

Popping down the road to shoot at your local field and forgetting your bow is borderline Fonz worthy. But to travel a whole hour and a half and then remembering you'd forgotten your bow is the stuff of a true fonz nominee.

Enjoy the little chap SVL.

when I was a junior, I turned up to an indoor tournament ready to shoot the morning session... that was until I realised I didn't have my string. Fortunately I have a tendency to go to shoots at least an hour in advance, and a very kind Dad, who drove the 1/2 hour home to get me a string, and got back just in time for sighters.
It was worth it... I won

Done the reverse. Got home, opened he boot, and suddently realised that my bow is still sitting out on the kit line at the club.

Advange of shooting by yourself is no-one is there to laugh at you. Downside is no-one points out that you haven't taken you kit with you.
