Hiya - I'm going to be doing more shooting of the scythian through the winter. I've just got my Bowman classification for Longbow, so I've achieved my target for my first year in archery. So now it's back to horse bows again.
I've written to GNAs, but only very recently, so I'll keep you informed on the response.
I know these bows are popular - someone else at our club now shoots an SKB regularly. Also I've seen loads selling at Quicks. They had a range length of Hungarian horse bows at the end of July (the importer had them laid on the floor from one end to the other) and they have very few left now. So someone is buying them...
If we had a GNAS class then they might be seen in public a bit more.
How about we try to organise some events next year - create our own subdivision of barebow for specific events?
I am sure we could find a few clubs to host a days shooting with a theme - nothing to stop any 'normal' shooting going on at the same time.
Perhaps create a small series with a few dates - say three, throughout the year and then declare a 2012 champ.
Maybe North, South and Midlands based - or possibly postal??
The thing with real events is getting the bows visible isn't it - a postal may miss the point.
I can have a talk with my club tonight... We're about as South as you can get!
I feel 2012 will be the year of the horse bow!
