But I want to know if either Madbagpiper or Tartan Hiker got the apple!

I had to leave midway through the competition so I do not know
who advanced.
When I left the top score was 1 pt. and I think they were both at
0.
You got points as follows:
3 pts if you hit the apple and knocked it off the head.
1 pt if you nicked the apple.
-1 it you nicked the head.
-3 if you hit the head.
You had 5 shots.
I have to say that I thought it was a very difficult shoot.
They were about 11 to 12 feet away.
They will have to fill us in on who won and what the final score was.

MY excuse is that we were both using borrowed bows that we had shot maybe a couple of dozen times...and I'm sticking to it. If only I could have used my recurve! The apples were 7 yards out, so not an easy shot.
Neither of us hit the apple. MadBagpiper took the wig off one of the heads without cutting the flesh, so no points deducted. All of our shots were very close (1-4 inches for the most part), but no hits.
The eventual winner only nicked two apples...out of about 40 shooters not one scored a solid hit.
MB was in a shoot-off for the youth group, and took third place.
Of course I went back to the campsite, set an apple on a milk jug and proceeded to hit it 4 times in 9 shots from about 18 yards. Go figure.
I'll be adding some pics this evening...can't do that at school. Stay tuned for an action shot of Barclay in the Tug-of War!
Nelson, did you get any pics of the massed bands performing on Saturday?

I did get the some shots of the massed band. Well sort of.??...
Since they came on in 2 waves, I got both as they came in separately.
But to get the wide angle I needed for the whole band
(I think it is the largest massed band in the NC games.??...)
I kept getting the lady’s (in front of me) hat in the photo. I may be able to
show 1 photo of 1/2 of the band and another photo of the other half.
I will work on that tonight.
