Started back in archery in September last year, after a very long time away. Managed bronze medal at a triple Portsmouth comp in the November with my Talisman Bronze limbs. Bought my HEX4H limbs in February, received them on a Friday, took gold medal in a triple Worcester comp on the Sunday. Loved them. Went to the SCAS Indoor Champs (double Portsmouth then a team FITA 18) a couple of weeks ago, came 4th in Sussex with a 559, new PB in the second session of 564 up from 560 set in practice, new double Portsmouth PB of 1123, and a new FITA 18 PB of 518 up from 515 set in practice. Had a great day and a lot of it was due to the stability of my Borders. Thank you to both Sids and all at Border.

Well done chaps!
and on saturday I shot a 576 new national.
Woo! Well done!
Many thanks to you Sid, for explaining my problem with my stringwalking. I raised the nocking point, stiffened my button and wound in my limbs one turn. Bow is much quieter, and today in our Selby Postal Comp (Short Metric) I shot a 540. So a new PB at the S/M and at both distances. I missed the county record by 6 points, but I do have claims in for the FITA 70 and FITA 50 rounds.

Just returned from my summer vacation were I shot two tournaments. First was the Eastern Archery Championships at Sharpsville Pa. The Fita scores were dampened by thunderstorms but the clout went superbly. Using my hex6bb2 limbs I shot probably the best clout round I've ever had. I scored a 6 gold on the third end and won the event going away. I think I hit the flag at least 4 times. The next tournament was the U.S. National Championships at Hamilton Ohio. The weather was good for the FITA round and I had a PB at 90m by 4 points for a 278. I finished with a 1214 for 22nd place in the mens senior division. The clout was cancelled by a thunderstorm. The speed or the limbs allowed me to shoot a fairly heavy nano 490 with 120 points 43.5lbs otf with good results in the wind. At 70m with an estimated 5-10mph crosswind I was only drifting out to the 8 ring. The smoothness factor allowed my 61 year old shoulders to complete the shoots with no problem. Although I looked I only saw one other set of Borders limbs. A young lady had a set of used CRX's and said she was very pleased with them. I had several favorable comments on the looks of my limbs. Thanks again to the hardworking crew at Borders for producing a brilliant set of limbs for me. Greg
Last weekend was the Commonwealth Archery Champs for Europe (incorporating the Euronations). My first outing in an England shirt.
In very hot sticky conditions my Hex6H BB2s shot me a 1267 Fita (my first GMB score this year) and second place. The next day it managed to score 613 in the 70m round.
Two PBs and a nice feeling of satisfaction!
