Brilliant stuff, congratulations to both of you! Consider me well chuffed by proxy! (What will you spend your six pounds on?) You could charge a small fee and allow pilgrims (i.e. other archers) to touch your hand for luck, like folks do in cathedrals... and strangely a pub I once went in in Sheffield Medication time again? So soon? _________________ :: Sig courtesy of CamdogXIII of EMP ::

Bow: Winact riser (Yellow Gold) SF Super carbon limbs (Black) 43Lb on the fingers.
Sight: Cartel Activa (Black)... Yes I use a sight! You can stop booing now!
Arrows: Yes, ACC's fletched black and yellow.

Also shooting KG Cobra Deluxe, with big wooden arrows, there's also a stave of wood in my loft with a longbow hiding in it, going looking for it soon!

Hi Steve Pictures will be on by the end of the week! I'm hoping that the guy taking pictures (Paul Clark) at the event will send them over to me so i can post them too. As for my 6 whole English pounds, I'm not sure what I'm going to spend it on yet, I'm undecided It still hasn't quite sunk in yet. I went to Merlin yesterday and they were absolutely thrilled with my achievements. I gave Ben his arrows back and he has kindly said that i can borrow them again. Thank you Ben! I have to thank Ben and Chris for the last minute alterations they performed on my bow and also the loan of the arrows without this who knows what the outcome would have been. So thanks to you all once again.

Bow: 2 x merlin xs
