Cacatch:
I just thought of something though...what in the world could someone think is "wrong" with primitive archery? It really does say something about the mindset of some of our society. And it is terrible. Maybe they will come around once they see how many kids enjoy it and are better off for taking the class. Maybe  :-\

It ain't just primitive archery. Some folks seem to be in an uproar against all weapons and all hunters and I don't believe they could tell you why.

The only thing that makes a bow a weapon is intent. Same goes for a frying pan!  ;D

I couldn't agree with you more!!

Been fighting the urge to go on a killing spree using dessert spoons for years now, in an effort to point out that it's not the "item" that's dangerous...  it's the person that decides to use it for harm.

In Ireland, we tend to have "knee-jerk reactions" about things.  A few years ago, they decided knife-crime was too high so they banned the sale/purchase/import of "samurai swords" in Ireland - unless the sword in question pre-dates 1954, for some reason.  Realistically they should have banned the stainless steel shite that gets sold to idiots that don't know any better and leave us (semi) serious collectors with the option to commission a Japanese smith to craft a shinsakuto (new art sword).  I'd rather put bread on the smith's table, than a new Rolex for some fat antique dealer...

ErictheViking:
I would think the Irish would rise up if they ever try to ban the shillelagh. :D
