and shooting arrows straight up
When I acquired my first bow, a note on the box said something to the tune of "one can not shoot arrows straight up." In my mind, that sounded like a challenge and I instantly took it on. As the arrow disappeared from sight, I immediately questioned the wisdom of that action. I froze in place and the arrow landed 20 or 30 yds to one side never to be repeated.
As to the root question, experience is by far the best teacher. A description of an electric fence jolt simply does not cut it. One must have the experience.
To truly experience that Jolt one needs to urinate on said fence, brings your whole life into perspective...................:)
We lived, because we did not push things to that fatal edge. When the results hurt, we recognized that expanding the limits would only hurt more. So far though, I'd do it all over again.
