Traditional Archery

So I thought archery for me had gone the way of the freestyle flatland bike, the street rollerblading and the snowboarding, but lo, it may return, more powerful than ever before ;)
At the highland games of all places (see previous post lol) under the lunch tent and on top of a pile of band equipment there lies a quiver full of arrows. Nice arrows. Cedar arrows. With feather fletches o_O OK so who's arrows are these!? Of course no one knows but a little while later I find it is one of the bandmember's dad's and I finally meet up with him and we get to chatting -he does long bow at the few highland games that hold comps so scratch on that but I do off the shelf recurve so it now appears I may get to tag along with him to the state championships this month LOL
I suck needless to say -but hey, archery is fun ;)
another funky small world moment yayers

Cool! Maybe you could get him to train you? Archery sounds like a lot of fun, but I hear it takes a lot of upper-body strength.

I actually used to shoot for several years. Got out of it when the local indoor range shut down and I could not shoot inside anymore lol. I didn’t shoot a recurve bow although I had severl friends who did. I was deep into comp. target shooting with compound bows, 3' stabilizers and scope sights hehe. It's a great sport though and you meet some super awesome people. Thinking about it, I should drag my bow out, it's not been outside it's case for a year or so hehe.. On a side note, your not planning on going to Rocket city the end of this month are you? if your considering it let me know asap ^^
