Who Shot it Better?

Recurvers and Compounders are sworn enemies. Kind of like the legendary Hatfields and the McCoys conflict in rural 1860's America but with more banter and a bit less bloodshed. Obviously both sides like to outdo the other in accomplishments ... but when we're talking missing the target indoors, just who screws the pooch best?

Without him Sunday morning archery would have 50% less malarky but he does do a mean sausage and has his own sausage related hat.

Competitor B :
This dark side archer has represented his country in archery and won a medal. He owns the highest GA 252 badge - the Purple (admittedly more of a hot pink). On his compound he has telescopic sights, pulleys, a trigger and 34oz (0.963kg) of spurious weight for ... reasons. He actually seems to like our Vice-Chair!

So, just who missed the target best? Answers on a postcard or in these days of the internet, the comments section below …
