I had my first archery lesson last night 7.30-9.00. It was indoors of course and really enjoyable. I have signed up for a block of four Monday evenings to add a new string to my bow (if you will excuse the pun!) Big Grin Once through the initial training I will be allowed to utilise the facility once a week at a very cheap rate! Cool Surprisingly, none of the 15 arrows I shot strayed from the target and I even had one in the bullseye! We were trying different distances to target and it seemed to me that the further away they were the more accurate I was (Or it may have been me getting used to the Olympic recurve bow.?)

Next week we will be shooting with sighrs, which in the back of my mind, I feel is cheating? but going forward I would have a choice of type of bow and what additions I would add to it!

I was a bit worrried because I wear glasses, but it didn't seem to interfere with accuracy and I was very pleased with the result!

Sounds really interesting Vinny. As a kid backyard archery was always fun. We enjoyed target shooting too.

First time I've eaten Tempeh. Its a bit like tofu, made from fermented soya beans and not much else. I bought 2 versions - a soy sauce and a sweet chilli one. Tried the soy/tamari one tonight. Both from Lidl though I've seen it in Morries too.
I liked it and would eat it again.

Thanks Veggie . I was just about to ask on the recipe thread what that was. Some of the recipes on that site look very tasty.
Builder that would like to go play in the garden.
