Thanks Rod, yeah good to see the kids having fun outdoors.

Just got home. What an enjoyable weekend! The Ballarat Bowhunters have done an absolutely fantastic job once again. The targets were well laid out and it was very well organised from start to finish. The people slaving away in the kitchen really outdid themselves. The food was absolutely delicious and ridiculously cheap . All the members were helpful and pleasant. Thanks people!

It was also lovely to catch up will my old mates as well meeting a few new ones.

What a great weekend good to be shooting again and going to these events.
It was good to catch up with all the guys and meet some new ones as well.

Ian good to see you again and here about your trip to the states.

As Mick has already mentioned the guys and girls at ballarat did a great job as usual
Look forward to the next one.
