We have seen the future, and it's looking pretty Bare.
Time to throw away those sights, clickers and stabilisers, and go for the 180 point bonuses instead.
Which is another way of saying we lost our Albion to Eastbourne by a margin of 69 points, against a team made up of four Barebow archers who between them picked up 720 bonus points.
But never mind, it was a lovely day and good company even if the wind knocked us all ragged. The day was marked by a great performance by Martin who was way out in front until he faded a little in the last couple of dozen, and was passed by Jon who at the same moment pulled it all together (and found time to take these pictures). Liz was steady all day and got within a dozen points of a PB, if the wind hadn't been so punishing she'd have soared into the middle or high 700s. The fourth member of the Team, Graham, had a disappointing 80 yards, followed by a storming 60 - goodness knows what was in his sandwich box.
We also had two competitors in the Junior and Longbow 'Postal' sections of the league. Becky shot a Short Windsor, the first time she'd taken on the 50 yard distance which she'll move up to after her birthday, and once again she improved her standard, that's three times in a row. And Andy, shooting 80 yards for the first time, and only his second round ever, scored 243 which is is actually the second highest Gents Longbow Albion we have on record!
Jon 733 - Martin 715 - Liz 675 - Graham 664
Becky 498 - Andy 243
As usual, the pictures should enlarge if you click on them
