As an archer and bowhunter myself it's amazing too see the people ability with the bow & arrow to bad it's being used in a deadly form.

@Nuahtu Oh yes, of course. Lets not forget that white people invented violence. Everyone else were pacifists until the paleskins came along.

It's nice to see more people take an interest in archery: it's a great sport.

[Nuahtu]

and what is the cause of all this violence ?? white political laws ;; if the tribes lived by their old and traditional customs they would of had the same mutual respect for eachother they had hundreds of years ago...
