[Wyewood] Archery report for 9/30/15

[David Keil via Wyewood]

Greetings Archers,

The autumn briskness greeted us even as the sun brightly shone on the range
today, reminding us the season is just a few weeks from ending on All
Hallows Eve.  15 archers enjoyed the last Wednesday practice and many
turned in some great scores adding to their progress!

Something that inspires me is people finding a way to keep enjoying archery
despite giving up a category or two by finding another.  First Tymme,
recovering from neck surgery a few years ago, turned to crossbow and
absolutely excelled at it.  Now, his wife Avine follows in the same
footsteps as physical limitations dictate the change.  And guess who is
make great strides now?  Got it in one, it's Avine!

Another thing is seeing a person who has languished in lower scores with a
"I enjoy shooting but I'll never get any better" attitude rededicate
themselves and see real progress.  Gwalchgwyn "Gawin" of Blatha an Oir had
just struggled in the last couple of years since coming to Wednesday
practices with us, but this year something has clicked.  His renewed
passion has brought him to weekend practices and for the first time
attended Bows and Blades last weekend.  Way to go!

To the scores!
