Nice stable belt, what regiment? I was just thinking today about wearing one with a kilt. I thought it would look quite smart, and you prove it does.

I have a number of Stable Belts I LOVE THEM.

This one is a "SHERWOOD FORESTER" I choose it because it, IMHO, fit the event & it is one of the few that has Tan leather.

I haven't been able to string my bow since I had surgery in '03. I never competed, but I do miss the fun. You look great, sir!

At one time in me younger day's, wasn't half bad either. Competed mostly on indoor ranges up North. Started during one rather Cold winter and enjoyed it a lot, When I moved down south started to lose interest for other things,gave it up several years ago.

Victoria, a few years ago, when I started out, A Fellow Club member, & well Known bow maker, made me a bow & taught me some of the "RUDIMENTS.

@ the first Rendezvous I COULD NOT HIT THE BROADSIDE of the BARN. He & others, worked with me for 3 days. Still could not find the target

"I picked another "NAME" ( by him) "LOOKS GOOD - CAN'T SHOOT"

AN Irish LADY, in our club took me aside later, & said, " FORGET the "PROs" Shoot it like you shoot your "flinter" She took an hr,, made some "adjustments" It worked

I guess that's better than LOOKS BAD, FEELS GOOD.

And Lady M, do not despair. Try a cross bow. Totum dependeat
