Mothers day Fun Shoot

A great time was had by all at the Mothers day Fun Shoot.

Morning shoot was on the white range with coloured targets, that was put on every second target.
Members were given a cube, painted with shoot peg colours and had to roll it along the ground, which ever colour came up, that’s the coloured peg the shot from.
Members said, it was different and fun.
After lunch was the best time of all.

Mal, Wendy and young Jake blow balloons up and filled them with lollies .
These were hooked on rope which was hung across the practise range.
Everyone ha to shot until they hit a balloon and collected their lollies.
Members were getting so excited when they , (almost hit a balloon). When they did hit the balloon, Taree would have heard them. This event did take some time. It was a fantastic time.
Next, a apple was shot off a hairless Marlene Monroe, she was put in front of a indoor target.
Clifton was first to hit the apple. Marlene was in a bad way when the shooting was finished.
Then there was two photo copies of a five dollar note pinned onto an indoor target, (one for seniors and cubs).
The arrow, that got the closed to Her Majesty head, won $5.00.
Cub winner was, Harley Hardy.
Senior winner was Wes Bull.

Last but not lest, was the long shot. The shot was 60 to 70 metres away and we had to shoot with recurves and wooden arrows. That was a feat on its own.
Well, there was arrows going all over the place. There was even tree shots, some of use could not even see that far little loan hit the target.
With the arrows going wild, not sure who won.

Mal, thank you for a fantastic day.
