Well Fellow Oneida Owners Here is the latest in Bow report for Oneida UK.

Luke and I went to 2 tournaments over the Last week as mentioned above. I will be trying to get photos over asap.
The sat and sun was the Junior National Field Archery Championships. It rained for 2 days and was very treacherous. I had to escort Luke around the wet wooded hills for the two days. It was heavy going and very slippery. The weather did not help the shooting but a fun day was had by all. Luke was shooting red pegs which is the longest distance so his max distance those days would be 60 meters. He did not shoot his best but put in a good peformance for a 12 year old.

The week was followed by 5 days of walking the Hills of Wales. I will post separate account later

Well on day 1 which was the Monday we shot the Field Round which is goverened by the IFAA and consists of 28 marked targets. 4 arrows at each target and move on. They are spread between 11 yards and 80 yards with a variety of walk up shots and fans. As this was a European Event the targets were set a most of the maximum distances which makes for a very small spot at a long distance. Shootiing up and down hilld did not help either as well as across slopes. OIt was a very challenging week.
