The original Robin Hood, with Errol Flynn, has a lot of archery. By the way, Errol Flynn could have been an Olympic champion in fencing. I am with you Hatch, I get too involved in what the movie characters are using, if it is correct or not. Like The movie with Errol Flynn, about John Brown, when he raided the armory. This was before the war between the states. They were using cartridge pistols, and rifles ! The good, the bad, and the ugly. Again using cartridge pistols. They were all cap and ball! However the Spanish Starr, which was quite popular with the south, when they could get them, was double action ! The Le mat had a 20 gauge shotgun barrel under the pistol barrel, and you moved a lever, and it would fire the shotgun barrel. I always got a kick out of the bias, and outright bullcrap of Hollywood, when in war movies, the German grenades blew up very little, but the American grenades, blew up jeeps, houses, and would blow a dozen Germans into the air. Yeah, right. Also the Americans would hide behind a little eight inch thick log, and the German 7 and 8 mm bullets would not go through, but the American bullets, went through big trees, and all kinds of stuff. Uh huh, sure. Oh, and it was by international agreement that the machine gunners, had to shoot at your feet only, or in a curving pattern on the walls of buildings. Anywho the original Robin Hood is my all time favorite. Didn't the little fairies in Willow, carry tiny bows? One of them had a mouse head hat, and skin. OK, here's one you might have missed......Hiawatha. Cartoon, but still had a bow and arrow in it...... And the Indian in the cabinet.......I thought it was a compound that Burt had......Shoot, I have a Bear Grizzly....... ;D Well who shot Cock Robin, I did said the sparrow, with my little bow and arrow. I knew those sparrow eggs weren't supposed to be blue! :o ;D ;D
