handlebar Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Thought I'd put a post on here to share some of Handlebar2 (my son) recent achievements He's recently started archery at a local club and with some help from Bakerboy (his grandad) we managed to get him his own bow, tonight was the second outing of the bow and he completed his '252' badge where he must score 252 points with 36 arrows - my heart was in my mouth for his last six arrows but he managed to SMASH the total with an amazing 286!! He's a dab eye on the clays and now with the bow so should the zombie apocalypse ever happen I'm sticking close by him! And if being a great shot with a gun and a bow isn't enough, he took this amazing snap of a lizard he spotted whilst on holiday with Bakerboy in Norfolk on his mobile! He certainly makes me one VERY proud dad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stevo Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) Great shooting . I would be chuffed to bits too . Just out of interest . What sort of distance/range are we talking here . Its ok . I have just seen 20 yrds on the score card . Better than me with a shotgun .

bakerboy Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 If handlebar is proud, what do you think I am. Keep up the good work Tim, you are a fantastic (was going to say "great" but that would have added a generation) grandson and a pleasure to have around.

Thunderbird Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Excellent work Tim, archery is a lot harder than it looks. I tried it recently and managed to get the 'archers kiss' (which isn't as nice as it sounds) all up my arm. I hit the target once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul T Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 That was a very nice 'end' to finish with - well done young sir. I wish I'd never given up on archery, but sadly the first marriage put paid to daily training Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
