    My Turn........

    Points not Prizes..... the Mental Attitude....

    Talking to a few archers at recent shoots and at the club I get an impression that many like the idea of winning specific events or beating a particular archer. IMHO I believe this is the wrong mental attitude to have. My own focus is always on shooting the best I can on the day and achieving...

    Nuts............

    I learned a very important lesson yesterday - don't snack on food you haven't had before :( I shot at Clophill's FITA Four 70m WRS on Sunday, so on Saturday we went shopping for packed lunch bits. watch_man is quite easy to shop for as he just puts as much as he can into the trolly till I stop...

    BMC Triple Foam Target Question

    Has anyone used one of these bosses from a shop or Bowsports? I am thinking of using 3 of them stacked on top of each other and banded together as a backstop so I can practice indoors. My concern is how they will stop X7's at 6m from my Ultra Elite. Has anyone used one? Do the arrows penetrate...
