sometimes ya just get luck :)

I shot the IFAA '07 Nationals in Houston (barebow sr).

I used TXG's #36 longs on a Brenardilli 21" Cobra riser to luck into a silver medal.

I shot heads up with Skip Trafford (now he is a good shot :) ).

I started archery in France in October 2001, got Border Premier Carbon limbs in summer 2002. Averaged 555 in FITA 18 and placed in the top 30 for Cadet in France, made the Lyonnais Regional Junior team. Then averaged 604 in FITA 720 summer 2003, got to top 7 in the French Cadet rankings, and would have represented GB in European Junior Cup if I had been a member of GNAS since September (but I didn't know I'd be that good!). All of this was due to the torsional resistance, speed, forgiveness and smoothness of your amazing limbs.

Alas I then succumbed to "famous limb syndrome", bought Synerzys, then G3s, lost all ability to shoot over the next 3 years... and got a compound last year.

Happily I have now found form and motivation again, and when I get home for Xmas I shall pick up my recurve again... and now I know what limbs I need to put on it :D.

If all goes well, you'll be hearing more soon.
 
I shoot with my border TXG's against Naomi Folkard n got a PB by 99 points in a ladies FITA (i was 17 at the time) does that count coz it wasn't with a border riser?

Damn good shooting Jay! Well done! :beer:

Out of interest, did the HEXVs attract many comments? I know many archers double-take when they see my set up.
