Thanks   :archer:

It was a really challenging good course setup with 40 different 3D animals, with a lot of up&downhill shooting.

The cool part with this shoot is that it divided in only two classes with or without aiming equipment.(and childsclass)
Overall we where a total of 53 archers where 6 where compound shooters. And the rest was tradbows.

Difference from the compound to trad inside the 35 yard distances where not big when it did come down to calculate points.

Halvorson and Olson blood here. Good to hear from the home country. Hope to visit Norway one day. If you are down South on holiday try and visit between Oct-Jan and we can get ya on some Whitetails.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways-BOW in one hand-ARROWS in the other-Body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming-WOO HOO! WHAT A RIDE!

nice to hear of archers in the old country....my family is Norwegian (Steen) with a little Swede thrown in for comical relief.  I sure love lefse when I'm out roving or hunting...or anytime!  

only question is,  where are your longbows?

Hardingfele gives a really nice sound  :)
I like the tune Fanitullen, ask your wife to play it for you  :)
here is the poem that follows the music and is about the way they did party in Hallingdal:

Fanitullen
 
 

I hine hårde dage da øldrikk og svir,
hallingdølens knivblad satt løst i hans slir,
da kvinnene til gilde bar likskjorten med
hvori de kunne legge sin husbonde ned.

Stod der et blodig bryllup i Hemsedal ensteds,
hvor lek og dans var tystnet og karene slo krets.
Ti midt på gulvets tilje i den mannslagne ring
stod to med dragne knive og et belte spent ikring.

Og som utskårne støtter i hvilende ro
står ennu fire karer i kretsen om de to
De løfter tyrilysen mot det sorte bjelketak,
hvor røkens hvirvler samles til et rugende lag.

forgjeves tvenne kvinner med hyl trenger frem,
å bryte det faste gjerde der er stillet foran dem.
De kastes vredt tilbake av de muskelsterke menn,-
og spillemannen rolig går til kjellertrappen hen.

Nu skal han ned å tappe; ti den seirende mann,
kan saktens vel beh|ve å kysse bollens rand.
I beltespenning nappes de kun med blodets tap;
så må vel åren fylles fra tønnetutens tap.

Men da han stod i kjeller'n han så i et blålig skinn
'en sitte er på tønnen og stemme felen sin.
Og karen holdt en omvendt, tett opp til brystet klemt,
og gav seg til å stryke så snart han hadde stemt.

Det var et spill som dugde det klang som vred manns ord,
som hugg av stålstemt bile og som veneslag i bord.
Det jublet og det hulket i det skumle kjellerhall
da slåttens toner endte med et rungende mannefall.

Taus spillemannen lyttet til de mektige løp;
det var som spillets vivler nedad ryggen på ham krøp.
Så spurte han denannen: ``Hvor l&aerlig;rte du den slått:''
Han svarte:''Det er det samme, men minn deg den blott!''

Nu mannen ned seg lutet og etter tappen tok -
da så han hestehoven som takt mot tønna slo.
Han glemte rent å tappe, han sprang i stuen opp -
der løftet de fra gulvet den falne mannekropp.

Fanitullen kalles ennå den ville slått,
og dølene den spiller, og spiller den godt.
Men lyder de grumme toner under øldrikk og svir,
da løsner ater kniven i hallingdølens slir.


Enjoy   :D

Nilirova, I might follow you up on that!
I tried to find out about bowhunting in Finland last year but did not have any luck.
Is it legal also to hunt whitetails with bow in Finland?

Thanks for the tune Margly!  I'll email it to my wife  at work today as she has her fiddle with her for practice after work.

My father in laws people come from Hallingdal so she might know the tune.  My father in law is a cousin to the people that run the Bruseletto knives in Gielo (spelling)  Many of the old folks are gone now though...

Bowhunting will now be allowed in Norway for a three-year trial period. Details on locations and species are still to be worked out. Gratulerer till alle som har jobbet med dette!

Unfortunately, the news is announced today on the  Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation home page   with an image of a live deer with an arrow piercing its nose frontally. The headline reads in Norwegian, "Wants this to be allowed". The picture is edited at the    linked story   to crop out the entrance wound and show only the exit side, with part of the arrow shaft showing.    :banghead:

Well, there must have been an uproar from bowhunters (and/or the regulator).

NRK has now removed the offensive photo from its home page and replaced the headline with "Want to try hunting with bow and arrow". But there's still a photo at the linked story showing the live deer with an arrow sticking through its head and neck, with the caption, "This is Krag's horror case where an animal is wounded."

Anton Krag is identified as the leader of an animal protection group in Norway, and we now find out that the photo was supplied to NRK by them.

It always kills me when they call themselves "animal rights activists or described as a animal protection group". Do they protect them from all predators? No just humans with weapons. I believe that is discrimation. They are weeding out one predator and taking that predator's rights away that are a cultural tradition and a way to feed their family.
