Whilst putting this blog together and searching the internet for clubs and tournaments announced on those sites, I finally came across http://www.archery-interchange.net/. This is a great site for people that want to run their own archery related blog or who wish to take part in the archery community discussion forum, either asking or answering questions. For this reason I have added links at the bottom of this blog to both the discussion forum and the blog area.
I then took a deep breath and thought, well is this blog really needed then? After all, I really don’t want to compete with anyone and why reinvent the wheel.
Well I have decided to continue with it for the moment. Why?
It would seem that the Archery Interchange site is ideal for those people who want to take the time to work the discussion board and maintain a blog. However, there are still plenty of people who would rather quickly and easily have something published without the need to register on someone’s website or make the commitment to regular updates or networking.
In addition, most club secretaries and records officers distribute news and related information through an email distribution list. It is therefore easy to simply add my email address to that distribution list and I’ll post or reword the posting as appropriate, usually within a day or two of the item becoming current.
Furthermore, using the ‘labels’ feature, archers will be able to quickly and easily produce a list of posts that are relevant to them.
This blog is therefore (and always was) designed for the casual poster and club official. There is no need to register and you only need to simply email me with your story, news or other archery related item.
I’d welcome your thoughts.
This is a good concept, well executed. Run with it.
