Following the first double-session weekend, when it seemed everyone was grouping all their arrows in the gold (one picture at the end of this post, more to follow soon), the beginners group headed outside this afternoon and tried shooting at a 'wand' placed 50 yards way - three times further than than the furthest they'd shot so far.
The Wand is the white upright line just to the left of the cellphone transmitter mast
It took a few attempts to work out what to do, but on about the fourth end Chris got a hit - but it bounced out. But it wasn't long before he did it again.
And another three ends and both Lindsey and Rory did it too
The Wand is tricky and cruel, sometimes it looks as if the arrow must have passed right through, it can be right behind, and still missed. The ground around the wand was thick with arrows. Then Dan got TWO hits in the same end
You'll see there's an arrow near his foot, touching the wand but still not scoring. It was one of Annie's, and she missed by a hairsbreadth...
Then on the next end, Dan did it again....
And he hadn't finished because the did the same on following end
In the first two sessions it wasn't long before the gold was taking a real hammering, starting with Keith and soon followed by Lindsey and Fergus
