Had a fabulous day at INSIGHT ACTIVITIES NEW FOREST yesterday as I thought I ought to get some hands-on experience of what it’s like to shoot at things with arrows –\u00a0 ready for Hildegard’s book 9 in the series.<\/p>\n
Wow!\u00a0 I admire Ulf even more now.\u00a0 After loosing a load of arrows I managed to get a couple in the gold – but the target was pretty close, I have to say, not the 80 yards or more a good bowman would smile at.<\/p>\n
The brilliant Josh Smith showed us what to do and didn’t mock once.\u00a0 Thank you, Josh! It’s quite addictive and I imagine those young varlets ordered by King Edward III to get themselves to the butts every Sunday would need no urging. \u00a0\u00a0 I’m looking for an archery club now – but please, no jokes about Maid Marian!<\/p>\n
If you want to see what it looked like take a glance at my twitter link @nunsleuth for some pix.<\/p>\n
