Ok Ok - I decided to shoot barebow for a change. Insanity as I'd tried a dozen at the club on Sunday and couldn't hit anything other than grass at 60 yards. Anyway - managed to hit the target most of the time on the day - and so (by the simple ploy of being the only barebow shooter) won the barebow category. Hmmm, must try that again!! Creme egg prize was excellent!!

I am not divulging my score as its too embarrassing to publish. Most people would score more by throwing the arrows. However I really enjoyed the freedom - and I reckon I learned a bit about body alignment too.

Davies junior, however, is set to claim another Welsh record with his longbow score for Junior Western (again by the cunning ploy that the record is vacant!). If only the results didn't show him as shooting recurve!

(Actually - nothing really embarrasses me - 325.)

There was some really good shooting on the day. The winning compound was 850 - sure that's v v close to the current GNAS record? (860??)

Thats sooooooooooooo much better than my longbow score from last week!!! This was a western wasn't it?? I guess my 813 with a miss was a fab score with the wheelie bow at the weekend - musy be the arrows that does it

Your 813 is a wicked score. The winning lady compound was 828 with 96 hits (the rest were nowhere near 800) and I'm pretty sure she's been a compound shooter for a good while. And I bet in competition your concentration would be better!

So - darkside for the Welsh Whit Western? I might have to do barebow again - its my fierce competitive streak coming out )

You should have some people to go head to head with from Bangor at the Whit Western, dont worry i'll be shooting for the , currently doing distance training most days for the BUSA Outdoors (I want a 6 gold end at 100), i did a 6 gold end at 60 last year with a compound id hardly shot and a howling gale that appeared for that dozen ended the dozen with 11 golds out of 12, this year i hope to better that with a 12/12.
