Primitive archery growing in Britian

Hi
I'm a member of PAAS along with Mark and others. I tell you, he makes beautiful primitive bows and his long arrows are works of art. He's a true primitive artisan and not a bad shot either. A very light snorer in the roundhouse too, which is handy.
But to answer the last question, in England we cannot hunt at all anywhere with any bow and arrow let alone primitive gear!
My word, the control police would have a veritable heart attack!
We try to keep our heads down in case they ban us shooting altogether.

Thing is, the first time someone finds an arrow stuck in anywhere, remember we can only shoot in club areas, they will look at us. And if ever some fool shoots a person or animal and don't hide it (only joking) we will be banned. They've already done a knee jerk reaction to small handguns, which we have never been able to use except in special gun clubs, when a guy who went crazy, shot a lot of people was found to be a member of a registered handgun club. All hand guns are now banned even in clubs! Oh by the way criminals are exempt from this law and can have as many as they can carry.
We have to be very careful. And remember Americans are much closer to the bow hunting tradition, in England bowhunting is unknown in anyone's living or even tribal memory.
