A few folks have been telling me they`re having trouble reading my blogs, the ones I write in Scots so I thought I`d give it a go just writing in plain English for a while, so any feedback on what`s preferred would be gratefully received . :-)

Online shopping, I`m sure, has been the downfall of many a good woman! I think psychologists and men underestimate the power of a good shopping stint on the mind of your average woman..the feelgood factor alone is a tremendous thing...if I had my way, shopping would be prescribed by every doctor (along with a hefty amount of free cash to deploy at the same time).....well, I can dream!

So just window shopping on an online internet auction site, I got to the archery section (I know, bit of a strange girly, usually ignore the clothes and jewellery and go straight to stuff like archery or crossbows...) and there he sat, a nice wee recurve bow, just sitting there whispering "buy me buy me!"...so I did...

Well, after I`d explained my purchase to himself (expected howls of rage but got an "Oh that`s not too bad, looks good" at which point I nearly fainted, so have now got the gist of it, buy `blokey stuff` then you`ll get no hassle for it girls) I realised, my crossbow target is on it`s last legs.
I`m used to shooting with the crossbow, see, but haven`t that much experience with the archery bow, although I`ve shot one before, the crossbow is `my` weapon. So I`ll need to practice. So I`ll need a new target.
Targets seem to be quite expensive online, so I`m trying to think what can be used for target practice. I think it`ll just come down to stacked hay bales with a drawn paper target on them. The possibilities for fun with that paper are endless....:-D
See now, older days of times gone past would have been more fun. I`d`ve practiced then been able to go out and shoot my dinner. Then all I`d`ve had to worry about would be the sherrif or bailif chasing me, because when it comes to meat I`ve expensive tastes.
Anyways, there it is, my new purchase, a recurve bow. And now himself is getting a compound bow, which is usually used for field sports where the recurve is for target archery.
So if folks on Sanday are wanting to practice shooting, give us a call, not that we`re experts unless it`s in using a crossbow. But I don`t see it being that hard to be honest, crossbows might be a world of difference but the principle remains the same...point, shoot, hit....
Pictures will be forthcoming once we`ve got the hang of it (to avoid distressing pics of the neighboring cows in the field stampeding etc (joke, in case the farmer`s looking in by the way!))

Anyway, never mind shopping being a vice....am convinced that sometimes, it`s a virtue...I think, though, it helps in that the stuff I tend to buy is hugely practical.
What do you mean, "how practical is an archery bow?" Of COURSE it`s practical, if the world goes to pot and we have to ever catch our own dinners, I`ll be fine! (Yes, I know I already have the crossbows, but it doesn`t hurt to diversify)....
Or if hoardes of savage invaders ever decide to take on Sanday, I`ll be there, on the front line, managing to shoot, oh, at least one or two afore I`m overwhelmed (probably by giggling invaders, I`m not really such a scary sight, even with a bow)...
So there, see? Totally practical purchase.

(almost convinced meself now......) :-)
