It hit me on the back of the right heel while I was in full gallop. Despite the lack of injury or pain, I learned something that day. It is possible to shoot yourself with a long bow, without intention or aim.

I defy anyone to duplicate that feat, be they Irish, Kraut, or Mongolian.

T.O.

PS: Mongolians like the recurve bow. I learned this in the movies. Strange little phoucers they are.

PSS: Ace is one of my favorite desperadoes.



Dan, I gotta tell you. Every day I read a post where someone says they "laughed out loud". I want to go on record and say that your post has absolutely made me laughed out loud. Literally.

That was funny stuff right there.

Oh, and I shoot a longbow too.
