From looking at other club websites whilst bored, what do you guys think about a kind of equipment/tuning session? One session a week set aside where there wouldnt be as much emphasis on shooting, instead we could help with barsehaft/walkback tuning, equipment maintenance etc. It might be a good way of passing on experience to the novices, basic things like nocking points, bareshaft tuning advice, fletching, arrow prep.? Just an idea, let me know what you think

Good idea, especially with more novices getting bows. Will help identify problems people are having earlier and might even improve a few scores.

Sounds like a good plan - considering that my bow still needs to be tuned.

It might also be a good oppurtunity for the experienced members to pass on their knowledge to the younger members before they all go off and do silly things like graduate.

haha, that was my plan. i know i need to do some tuning, but when people are trying to score you feel bad asking people to stop while you move the bosses back to different distances all the time. and just as a hint, im gonna be free on fridays from now on, so if we want we could make friday the tuning day? cuz im gonna be looking for a reason to go down and shoot all day long anyway! i especially want to see birm down there, i think he needs to do a lot of tweaking with his bow, haha, maybe its just the archer that needs sorting out.... :-P love you really!

its not a major trouble out doors, if you set the boss up with a gap you can do walk backs and stuff and not bother others shooting a round.
alsoyou seen the shed stuff?

you cant do walkbacks while other people are shooting a round. that would mean standing in front of the shooting line

But if you set up a boss on one side of the field, right next to the rope, whilst the others are shooting a round on the left, next to the hedges, then there is enough space between you that you can cross the firing line without being in danger, as you have effectively made two ranges. It's do-able as long as everyone is sensible about it.

I don't think that it should be an issue so long as the two ranges have a large enough gap between them. At my club at Home, when shooting outdoors, the novices (who seem to want to only shoot at 20 yards for some reason) shoot to a completely different whistle to experienced archers shooting distances of 50+ yards. It will be worth checking H&S rules about.

i wasnt complaining about the need for a gap or anything like that. my whole point was that i was offering to run an extra session dedicated to tuning, where we could all do it together, and share advice etc. and also use it as a chance to introduce novices to it and pass along information we have learned before we graduate. it seems to have been hijacked by people who just want to shoot normally, thats what the other sessions were for.

i thinks its a great idea, if people want to do it then yea, see what the feel is at sessions.
as for the gap, this may be useful in other sessions if people want 100yards and 40yards, i think its only like 10/20feet, im sure its smaller than u think, so 2 ranges is easy so if people are shooting short they dont ahve to wait around as much, also useful if lots of arrows get lost the other half can still shoot a round.
