Brace yourself! We'll get strung up for puns like that.

Start running if you hear someone say 'Bernie, the bolt', Riddick, else you'll be all a-quiver! :coat:
 
.. when going after after dagga boys, put plenty time in shooting at the boss, but dont try to shoot him in the boss, else he'll be most cross (now I'm taking a bow!)
 
All those old English names that come from it. Archer he fires it, Bowyer he makes the bow. But without Arrowsmith who makes the arrow it'd have nothing to fore and if Fletcher didn't do his job properly it'd not fly straight but without Stringfellow it'd not fly at all! But Nock? No! He's just a bloke that once lived near an oak tree....nothing to do with the process at all.
 
I’ve bow hunted in Canada for Whitetail deer. And can tell you a properly placed shot with an 80 pound compound bow at 40 yards will stop a full grown Buck in the same distance as a deer shot well with a .270. I know I’ve done both! A broad head makes a 35mm hole through the vitals and the shock wave is un believable. This being said it takes a lot of practice to shoot a bow properly. We used to practice all summer for the autumn hunt. Its all down to respect for your quarry. We even bounced tyres down a hill with a balloon inside to practice moving shots. No more from me on this subject but rules is rules and I can’t see anyone being in a hurry to change them. Couldn’t draw a bow anymore anyway as I’ve torn my rotator cuff and don’t have the strength.
