QUIPS TO MAKE YOU QUIVER
THE MORE YOU PRACTICE, THE LUCKIER YOU GET.
THE QUICKER I LOOSE MY ARROWS - THE MORE TIME I HAVE TO FIND THEM.
IT WAS A 10 WHEN IT LEFT THE BOW.
THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET MY ARROWS TO GROUP IS TO KEEP THEM IN THE QUIVER.
IF IT'S NOT FUN, THEN IT'S NOT ARCHERY.
ARCHERY IS NOT A SPORT, ITS BRAIN DAMAGE.
JUST BECAUSE I DRESS LIKE ROBIN HOOD, IT DOESN'T MEAN I CAN SHOOT LIKE ROBIN HOOD!!!
REMEMBER..... WHEN YOU DON'T HIT WHAT YOU ARE AIMING AT, IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF THE BOW OR ARROWS, IT'S JUST THE JERK ON THE STRING.
I'M NOT USED TO SHOOTING INDOORS, THE LACK OF WIND CONFUSED ME.
IF THE POINT IS SHARP AND THE ARROW IS QUICK IT CAN PIERCE THE DUST, NO MATTER HOW THICK.
ARCHERS DO IT WITH A QUIVER.
LISTEN TO EVERYTHING, TRY WHAT MAKES SENSE, USE WHAT WORKS.
ONCE THEY ARE OUT OF THE QUIVER, THERE'S NO TELLING WHERE THEY'LL END UP.
REMEMBER. THE MORE YOU SHOOT, THE MORE ARROWS YOU HAVE TO BUY.
COACH: I'VE NEVER SEEN
A STRING GO IN, MY LIFE!
BANG!!
THE LIMB EXPLODES.
"RIGHT! SEE! STRING IN
ONE PIECE, NEVER IN MY LIFE!"
LOOK, MATE, THIS IS A 60 POUND LONGBOW SHOOTING 700 gr ARROWS. IF I HAD HIT THE TARGET, I'D HAVE DESTROYED IT!
I
SHOT AN ARROW INTO THE AIR, IT FELL TO EARTH I KNOW NOT WHERE.
LONG LONG AFTERWARD, IN AN OAK, I FOUND THE ARROW, STILL UNBROKE.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT THE FOLLOWING ARE STILL LAW TODAY
UPON SIGHT OF A SCOTSMAN, IT IS STILL LEGAL TO SHOOT HIM WITH A BOW AND ARROW, EXCEPT ON SUNDAYS.IN BRITAIN IT IS THE LAW THAT EVERY MALE AGED BETWEEN 10 AND 18 MUST MEET ON A SUNDAY MORNING AT THE VILLAGE GREEN IN ORDER TO PRACTICE ARCHERY.
ALL ENGLISH MEN OVER 14 SHOULD CARRY OUT TWO HOURS (OR SO) OF LONGBOW PRACTICE A WEEK, SUPERVISED BY THE LOCAL CLERGY.
IN SOME CITIES YOU CAN ONLY SHOOT A WELSH PERSON WITH A BOW AND ARROW
INSIDE THE CITY WALLS AFTER MIDNIGHT.
