  Anyway, congratulations on the shoot you had. It sounds like great fun, and I wish I could have seen it.

Seconded.  That sounds like a blast.  Really nice trophy too!  Was it handmade?

Erik,
Thanks for the comments.  The weather was kind this time and it was a very enjoyable shoot.  I'll try a post some images.

dmassphoto,
The trophy was made by my good friend, Al.  I think does look the part too.  The board was English yew and had some really attractive colouration in it.

Oh cool.  Even better that it was Yew.  Forgive me for sounding ill informed, but what exactly is it?  A shield, or a fancy decoration?

Looks like a buckler to me.

Yes, it's an archer's buckler.
