I shoot a high tech "hunting" bow (although you cannot hunt in the UK with a bow) but at targets. There is the traditional target archery in open fields at set distances and target face sizes etc. However, I only do "field" archery, which in very loose terms is simulated hunting. You go around a course (typically in a woods), shooting at targets (spots, 2D animal faces or 3D rubber animals) at either know distances or unknown distances, where you have to estimate the distances from the shooting peg.

Over the years I have represented my county and have won a national championship, got a couple of national records and numerous podiums.

Nice compound bow! I used to a bit of that too. I just used a club with targets but like the look of the hunting foam animal targets.
Here's a pic of my bow, sorry for the messy spare room

I do electronics and I like to design & build things.

I have a project currently running on Kickstarter, it's a mini laser cutter and engraver....

I was in the Air Cadets in Paisley in the dim and distant past(we wore proper uniforms with ties then) and I joined the Navy as an aircraft mechanic.
Never got to any dizzy heights rank wise though
Still retain an interest in aircraft but cars/bikes were my main interest.

I am a D of E Expedition Safety Supervisor

Hence the reason for the Overland Jimny Project... It serves good use around the remote cliff paths as I can get closer via some of the tracks

Thanks. I used to shoot recurve before moving to compound in 2008. What club to do belong to? My main club is a target club called Reigate Priory Bowmen, but I go to a lot of field clubs as well for competitions.
