As you may know from my life updates entry a few weeks ago, the last twelve months have been pretty busy for us. As a result, I haven’t really had much time to indulge in my photography or archery hobbies. In fact, I have only been out with my bow …
My second competitive shoot of 2015 was at one of the courses I’ve come to hate. Before anyone bites my head off, there is nothing wrong with the course. It’s a very tricky, challenging course. I just hate it because a lot of it is out in the open and …
