Here's some of what we did on our 'olidays.......

We couldn't find the Sheriff of Nottingham though.

Looks to me like he would make a pretty good archer!

Doug, I was a pretty good archer before arthritis took over my shoulders.

Kendall, that looked like fun! Jacqui, thanks for putting the video on YouTube and the link here. I love the Robin Hood legend, have been to Sherwood Forest and Nottingham, and have fenced and done archery. I'm glad you were able to do this.

I've always loved the Robin Hood stories and the Arthurian legends.
One of my very favorite movies is "Robin & Marian" with Sean Connery as Robin Hood.

I challenge Kendall to a target shoot at Getaway. I'll supply a 25-pound pull recurve bow and some arrows. We can use one or two of those "b" instruments as a target.

I'll be in Sherwood Forest, at Edwinstowe, on Friday evening for the 'Erasure' (80's UK ElectroPop duo) concert. Mrs Backwoodsperson is their greatest fan. Not quite Folk but good music nontheless, and keeps me young.

Good shootin' Kendall, is there no end to your talents?? And great to hear your (disembodied) voice jacqui! :-)

Rap, you are on. 20 pounds is pretty light, it may take two or three shots to get the feel of it.

How about a 45 lb. take-down recurve then? I really am concerned about your shoulders (and my own).

You have a point there. I like a 50 pound but I couldn't do much shooting with one now.

Jacqui and I could start a cheerleading squad.

Watermelon might be an easier target.

True, but Kendall and I are better archers than that. But Kendall packs a .38 and I can bring my .357 and we could shoot watermelons off the heads of anyone foolish enough to who wants to volunteer.

I'm with Kendall on the Sean Connery Robin and Marian film! (Audrey Hepburn was Marian!) Thanks Jacqui for the link to Sherwood forest!

Connery said it was his best film. I agree.

Good video, but I found the anti-French sentiment disturbing! :>)

LEJ - that was basically for the time of the 100 year war, when the longbow was the ultimate English weapon. Don't think that he meant it for now - the guy was just into the time period.
