<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am deeply grateful, humbled, and made glad by your kind comments about our recent shoot in the fair lands of Storvik. I cannot let these words lay unquestioned without adding that the shoot would never have taken place without the extensive assistance of two kind and humble gentlemen that I would now like to name and thank.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Fen of Needwood Forest spent the entire hot day on friday with me and our trusty equipment (range finder, protractor, and police tape,) laying out the site and protecting the archery range from the now-expected camping incroachments and other nonsense we archery marshalls must deal with! He also pounded mercilessly the endless numbers of stakes and rebars so I could save my back.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Geoffrey of Needwood Forest spent the entire hot day on sunday taking down the whole range and putting all the supplies and targets away for our next fun shoot. He also aided enlessly with target-making and endured more discussions of targets and such in the weeks before the event than any mere mortal should be subjected to.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Neither of these hard-working gentles shot the shoot for score. They felt their involvement would give some measure of advantage, no matter how infintesimally small, and they spent the day promoting the general welfare and fun of all the other archers there present. Endless thanks would be too few by far.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Nuala of Needwood</DIV></div><br>
