I shot a nice, tight group at 50 yards with the first longbow Robert ever built and Goldtip 1535s (more like 30-50s if you ask me). Look at where the compound folks shot! There's plenty more pictures to browse through as well.
I think I enchanted at least one person at the shoot by being a real live archer with a longbow who hit the target most of the time. It was a great shoot, even with the monster deer-flies that wanted to eat me alive.

Great shooting, I'm more than a little jellous. I have been itching to get out and shoot some field rounds this year, but I have been way too busy:( seems like when I have a chance to go somewhere to shoot there are only 3d shoots going on, but thats ok because I like them too!

Great shooting Helen, I love to out shoot the compounds at any distance but, I don't stand a chance at 50 yards.

I have to admit, it does get a bit lonely being the only stick-shooter at a lot of these field and target shoots.

Mudfish: This was at Gator Bowmen in Gainesville.
Yes, I have an awesome personal bowyer =) That longbow is a truly beautiful bow that shoots very well as long the archer remembers what she's supposed to be doing and actually does it!

It only happened that one target when I outdid *all* of the compound shooters in the party. Didn't realize the link didn't get on but if any of you want to see the rest of the pics (mostly training wheels), here's the link:
