Archery Competition

Came across this Archery inter club competition in progress in Keswick today and what a lovely location it was to.

A great collage with great individual shots! That looks like quite a challenge!

[Annie-Sue]

Amazing what turns up!

[Babs]

Robin Hood's merry men still look pretty active.

[Kim Capson]

Fun! The bows look a little different from the ones I used years ago though!

@tinley23 Thank you Lesley for your comment yes I sure you do it’s the far side of Keswick Rugby ground:)

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Thank you Jackie of your comment, It does look like a sport everyone can do and enjoy, maybe a tester session at your local Archery Club maybe an idea:)

@365projectorgheatherb Thank you for your lovely comment Heather, I had to sign a waver sheet and get permission plus listen to a safety talk before I could take any photographs simply because I had big camera and was not using a mobile phone, lol:)

[Peter]

@anniesue Yes indeed Annie-Sue I’m not one to miss an opportunity by not asking for permission:)

[Peter]

@onewing Thank you Babs for your comment, I only notice two archers using the traditional English longbow of Robin Hoods day, all were using modern metal bows:)

[Peter]

@kimmer50 Thanks for your comment Kim back in my day you only saw English Longbows and Turkish- Ottoman compound bows being used:)

[Peter]

@corinnec Thank you so much Corinne:)

@pcoulson Really? I had a security officer tell me once not to take photos of the campus with my camera. (Fortunately, this happened only once.) He then said that a phone camera would be fine...???
