As a kid, in the woods, I could hit a coin at twenty feet with a bent stick and a piece of string with a home-made arrow. In a moment of rash madness, I once shot a sparrow out of a tree and forever regretted it.

But when I came to Archery as an adult I was shocked to discover that using sophisticated modern equipment, I couldn't hit a barn door. That was Target Archery (ash-tray on a motorbike syndrome).

When I turned to Field Archery, it was a very different matter...

a reason to give up crossbow making...
