Fortress Shoot 2Just thought you might like to see some photos from what i believe to be the best shoot of the year.Well done to Toad Hollow Archers, Ian, Brenda and all the amazing helpers for non-stop organisation and work. They worked tirelessly on providing top quality meals, snack,drinks, administration, target changes over the 2 days and climbing endless steps to do so. I've never seen so many members work together so well with such dedication to achieving success and smiling thro it all too. HUGE THANK YOU! STERLING EFFORT! WELL DONE ALL OF YOU. Pooka Won 1st place jr girl barebow ......Day One 442 ......Day Two 592 
Corbarwolf Won 1st place gents AFB...............Day One 658.......Day Two 688. 
We also met ROADRUNNER (Hi John  ) and had a great evening eating,drinking,remembering, etc in the arches with all
our other local friends from the midlands circuit (see last pic with John in the white t-shirt), while the wind blew a rainy gale past the doorways. The weather after all that whilst shooting, was remarkably pleasant, all but for a spell on the Saturday, but glorious sunshine on the Sunday. Def. worth the 5 hour drive to get to it. So to the pics. Hopefully it is a good selection without boring people rigid of our weekend. Sorry the indoor shots came out a bit grainy, the lack of light or my setting ot sure which but you get the idea i'm sure 
Again if you want to see more they are on our website here http://www.freewebs.com/centaura11/fortress210608.htm |

It was a great weekend and thank you for your lovely comments. I didnt manage the whole weekend due to work commitments but I know everyone was really tired at the end of it but on a real high from all the great comments we had.
Congratulations on all your medals, more piccies below: Cobarwolf and company receiving their medals:

Great photos Kerryj, i think i remember seeing you taking photos around the shoot.
Thanks for posting our pics on here. 
Did you manage to get a photo of the arrows in full flight...love to see that. You Toadies know how to do it. Even the medals and badges are one-off unique designs based on the Fort Entrance Gate, something to treasure for sure. We shall return

Thanks folks for all the emails and great comments about Fort Shoot 2, we really enjoyed setting and working on the courses, and seem to have got it right about the shots and fun side of archery returned to the fort big time
Major thanks for all of you that travelled so far to shoot the fort, hope you all had a safe trip back and we will see you again soon at another of our shoots I have passed on all of your comments to the club members that were involved in setting and marshalling the shoot, I feel very proud of all of my club members for working their very best to make this a great experience for all of you that came down Thanks to everyone that helped us strip the course in record time, and for being there to share in the weekend I have never seen so many archers eat so much in my life, I thought we had overstocked on food, then had to run out and but loads more Sunday morning just to keep up Now don't tell the mrs for god sake but just jot this date in your diary 17th / 18th July 2010, I will deny all knowledge of having booked the next fort for then or she will kill me, but it is in another new fort which is the largest deepest and most epic fort of them all, this message will self destruct in about 80 years |
