lost arrow!!!
I went to the archery range today to get my sighters for 80 yards etc after changing the sight back to the outside of the bow.

I shot my 1st arrow into the 60 yard boss to ensure I was pulling the correct length then moved on to the 80 yard mark. I missed the boss a couple of times shooting wide and low but got there in the end after altering my sight (obviously!!).

I walked up to collect my arrows but low and behold 1 had totally disappeared!!! I searched and searched but to no avail, I couldn't even find the metal detector in the clubhouse - despair set in as mum was looking for me meeting her!! I pinned a note on the notice board to alert fellow archers to my plight and went off very low in mood....

I told Guy my story and armed with waterproofs, torches and a little metal detector we went to the range in the dark and wet miserable night!! I went into the clubhouse to get the other metal detector and to check if some kind sole had found my arrow and yep, you've guessed - there it was.

My note had a comment on it -

FOUND IN TARGET @ 60 YARDS

Still laughing.

Mick

Sides now beginning to ache!

What a treat this will be for Clicky, when she gets back on board.

RE: lost arrow!!!
I'm getting some funny looks in the office from people who are wondering why I just burst out laughing! That's a killer, Tracey -- very brave of you to own up to it, too!

RE: lost arrow!!!
My ribs hurt !!!

(Some time ago, I found an arrow that was also forgotten in a target... The archer didn't notice he had not picked it up...)

RE: lost arrow!!!
It wouldn't quite be so bad had I been able to just collect it next time I went shooting, but with only 8 arrows to my name I HAD TO HAVE IT!!!!!!

RE: lost arrow!!!
It probably landed at the top of the boss. There's no way that you could have reached it anyway.

RE: lost arrow!!!
Now that was uncalled for!!!

I spent all morning today turning my windage the wrong way and being baffled as to why I was continually shooting right, suddenly realised after lunch what I was doing - got 3rd best gold then!!!
