It's taken three years, but a complete beginner at our Archery Have-A-Go booth at the Findon Summer Revels potted three Knights on Horseback and carried off the £5 prize. In the first year, at Burpham, one of the local farmers had about six attempts to hit three Rooks and never succeeded, and nobody ever hit three, and only a very few got two knights or rooks -which entitled them to a free go. We thought we'd managed to get through the day without paying out, but this time we met our nemesis, who in the last minutes of the fete stepped up and first won himself two free ends by hitting two knights twice over; THEN he hit ONE knight three times, and when we jokingly said he should have hit three SEPARATE ones, he only went and did that too. How many of us could do that barebow with no practice?
