Just a quick post concerning the film, which I managed to see yesterday.
The film is great and I would like Hawkeyes quiver, could solve a few difficult shots, but the real reason for this post is the article on GeekDad, which is worth a read.
The Avengers’Hawkeye: Not Such a Bad Archer After All (GeekDad Weekly Rewind) (http://www.wired.com/geekdad/2012/04/avengers-hawkeye-archer-rewind/)
There are a few interesting articles on archery on this site so if you get chance pay it a visit.
The goal was to work from 10 until 1 updating course, maintaining access paths etc. In reality most of us worked until 2.
Well in those hours all who turned have managed to change 8 of the 20 targets, updating 7 (moving shooting pegs etc or in one setting up a completely new target.)
It was really great to see members working together to improve the site.
Big thanks to all that helped. I think it has improved the course no end.
I’m not someone who gets very excited about the summer olympics. Never been that into summer sports, other than watching rugby. Think that is due to never being fit / well enough at school to do any form of sports. Having said that I do appreciate the amount of work involved in getting to a level to compete.
I tend to prefer the winter olympics personnally as I’m a keen skier, but I thought I would share this link as I know there are a few people who read this blog who enjoy target archery too.
The link is to a news story on the BBC website http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/olympics/17857734 concerning an olympic archer Amy Oliver who has just made it to the Great Britain team. Unlike me she started very young in the sport and their is a long history of archery in her family.
Congrats to her for getting into the team and her family, also to all the other archers representing their respective countries in this years olympics.
Good Luck and hope you can shoot in the rain as we seem to be getting a lot of it at present.
