Shooting the Breeze. An Evening's Rove.Traditional English Longbow Archery. The ancient practise of roving marks, shooting long-distance target areas. A glorious evening of good fellowship, drawing big bows and seeing arrows flying past the setting sun.
By kind permission of landowners Mr Guy Mansfield and Mr Willy Hallifield. Very many thanks from Mr Gary Williamson and all those present for giving access to your land on such a beautiful evening.
The archers: Phil Kearey, John Cullwick, Mark Brownridge, Steve Djurovich, Mike Strong, Gareth Luke Adams, David Peach, Gary Williamson & Mick Grewcock.
With thanks to Gary Williamson for bringing us all together for a very special evening of summertime archery.
And a big thank you to all for your fellowship that evening.

I'm Mick Grewcock, retired from business and now self-learning the arts of longbow- and film-making. Join me in my light-hearted quest for knowledge as I learn to combine the ancient craft of bow-making with digital videography and film making - I'd be delighted to have you for company on this bizarre journey combining digital and primitive technology.
I have a deep passion for the medieval English longbow, the grreat warbow - the bow that earned its fearsome reputation during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries on the ferocious battle fields of France and England during the One Hundred Years War. It is an iconic weapon - and to this day, exudes heritage and awesome power.
Lots of bow making on my channel - do browse, view, like comment and subscribe. I have videos on making yew, hazel, elm and blackthorn longbows as well as many others related to primitive and instinctive archery, target archery arrow and bow making. In my videos you will see and hear what it is like to self learn bow making. I am self-taught as a bowyer and still learning every day - sometimes I fail, sometimes I succeed; but I'm always learning. I also explore the UK's rural landscape, sometimes in search of bow making woods, discovering survival skills, sometimes in search of the glories of this landscape. Do subscribe if you'd like to join me and influence what I upload and create more videos.
