The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 14,000 times in 2014. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 5 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

I hope you have an enjoyable festive season, with safe journeys and good weather. Good luck for 2015, may all your endeavours be on target.
2014 has been a busy year for us, with shoots up and down the country. We have visited some new grounds like Liberty and some visits to old friends like Spirit of Sherwood. Big thanks to all clubs that have hosted events we have attended, including those that spent weeks setting the Nationals and 3D courses.
Coaching has kept me busy and I’m delighted to have introduced some new people into the hobby of field archery. I’m sure they will continue to develop their skills.
I would also like to congratulate a certain young lady who I have the pleasure of being married to. Well done Sharon on winning not only the NFAS 3D championship in May but also the NFAS Nationals in Hunting Tackle class this year. I always knew you could.
This site too has grown as more shoot reports and reviews are added. I hope you have found them useful.
Thank you so much for all the support and contributions throughout this year. May I wish you all good luck for 2015.
As always thanks for reading.
Spirit of Sherwood Christmas shoot
Seems ages since I wrote a shoot report but then again it’s been ages since I’ve been to a shoot.
We hadn’t shot Spirit of Sherwood for a few years and the club has struggled recently due to forestry work taking place in their woods. Considering that they put on a great course with some clever shots using tree stumps from which you shot or on which positioned the targets. Loved the longhorn ram, looked great.
3D Longhorn Ram
Our shooting group would be made up of Dave and Lynn Sabo who we had had the pleasure of shooting with before and Paul who was on only his third nfas shoot having just swapped to wooden arrows.
First target was not a great start for me. I blanked it, think the lack of practice and distance judgement being to blame as my arrows flew over and under.
Second target of the day, Dave taking shot off an old tree stump.
There was an interesting moving target which was a large 3d crocodile wished I’d taken a photo of that now. Suspended on pulleys a few inches off the ground it looked really good as it slid down the slope.
Sharon won ladies hunting tackle so has another trophy for the mantlepiece. I only managed second in gents class missing out by 6 pts. Still a personal best for thirty six targets 686 despite a blank. Would like to make a special congratulations to Chris Harley who shot her first round with no blanks. Well done Chris.
Thanks for reading, have a Happy Christmas and Good luck for new year.
