I took up archery in August last year , aged 55, having wanted to try it for as long as I can remember. Other stuff always seemed to get in the way though.
Anyhoo, yesterday (13th December 2015) at 1:10 pm (Yes, I was 10 minutes late) I met with the patient archers in the wee car park.
Strung my bow (used my lovely Browning Rover 35# at 28" recurve) , grabbed my quiver and tilley hat and away we went.
What a fantastic day I had.
I can honestly say I was so exhilerated from start to finish that I can barely remember it, it was only 3 hours, but it seemed like 5 minutes.
20 targets, all proper 3d ones. Bears, warthogs all sorts. I was blown away!
I scored 162 from a possible 480 , which for my first ever time I am delighted with.
I scored one 24 on a resting fawn (HA! dead!)
I cannot wait for the next one, easily get over 200 now I know what the scoop is.
Roll on the Ironman
Thank you anybody that read this gushing
