The time was cut rather fine as we set out in the morning from the central coast and heading for orange. We spent the last hour searching for The Orange Archery Club, then registering with a bow check and lastly pitching our tent and setting up camp.
After day one on the range, I was half tempted to throw in the towel after stepping out of a dimly lit shower only to step on my glasses breaking off both arms and scratching the lenses. At this point I managed to acquire some electrical sticky tape and stuck the arms back on and continued on over the next three days.
The ranges were hilly in parts where I used up quite a bit of endurance which paid off in the end to score a gold medal.
I give thanks to god for allowing me to still enjoy life after surviving prostate cancer. Two years ago after being diagnosed with advanced reading of 30, my PSA reading is now down to 0.59.
My thanks also go to my wife Sally-Anne, who endured 5 nights in a tent with temperatures going down to –4 degrees at night and 10 during the day.
