| Once again I looked forward to going, particularly as I had enjoyed the last time so much. However, I was aware that this competition presented more of a challenge. This was confirmed from our practice shoot we had on Friday 12 Feb! |

There was a slight difference from the last
Portsmouth shoot as we had to adhere to GNAS dress code, I must
admit that I found it gave it a sense of occasion which added to the
enjoyment. John and myself were shooting and Jackie was there to give
moral support. |

| We started with the usual brief regarding the Vegas rules, scoring and line etiquette, then went straight into the six sighters. I scored very well on the sighters but, sadly, was unable to keep this up for the next sixty arrows and at the end of the tournament I could only achieve a grand total of 190 points. Strange I thought, as I had scored 364 on the practice shoot on the Friday! |

| Regardless of this tale of woe, I still look forward to the next tournament where I hope to greatly improve! | ||
