No worries... glad to hear it's a safe area! Only downside for me would be not being able to recover my arrows! It takes me hours to make the war arrows by hand, and throwing them away seems wasteful to me. Shooting from there is an interesting video opportunity! Thanks for sharing. Any idea how far you are getting, launching from that high up?

Yeah I only shot beater arrows never would have shot good ones, especially comp arrows! As I too spend a great deal of time on each one. Everyone there reckons 500yards would be a reasonable distance but I can't of course state that with any backing!
Here's a few pictures of a EWBS Livery and EWBS Quarter Pounder a made the other day.
