At first glance, the title sounds a bit like a bad horror film. "In a town somewhere in the heart of the Black Forest, this unsuspecting British lad has no idea what he's in for..."
But that's not true. Grizzly Jim of Merlin's Archery Adventures, has been to "The Gathering" before, and this time he documented his experience. Can't add much more than what's in the film except for the fact that I'm insanely jealous of his experience.
It's not that he got to shoot some arrows in the woods, I do that nearly every day. It's not that he got to shoot some arrows with Henry Bodnik... Ok, that's a bold face lie. I would love to shoot some arrows with Henry Bodnik, but mainly it's the fact that these folks look like they are having the time of their lives!
Here in America it is hard to find events like this that aren't heavily sponsored by bows with training wheels or the newest retractable killing blades. There is an epidemic here in the States of corporate camouflage and gadgetry.
Thank you Grizzly Jim for the great little documentary of your latest adventure. I am watching... and taking notes ;)
