A beautiful day at Celtic Harmony, ideal for my first shoot at
the club.
The club certainly lived up to its reputation for friendliness, and i was walked around the course by the club secretary, despite arriving a wee bit late (they were just packing up to go home...!).
The
Bikerstaffe shot beautifully (easy to draw, and very powerful), and my aim didn't embarrass me - most arrows comfortably on the target board, and i got a good set of 'kills'* even from the hardest peg**.
A perfect way to spend a couple of hours.
* : hitting the board isn't enough. Field archery target have images of traditional hunting quarry, and you have to hit within a marked boundary inside the animal for a hit. There is a kill area inside this boundary, and an inner kill within that for maximum points.
** : each target has 3 places you can shoot from, at various levels of difficulty. Distance is obviously a factor but the red (hardest) peg can throw in challenges like there being a large tree in the way...
