Default Be very carefull with your bow. Man killed with bow!

It happens! Im not here to judge anyone but bows are weapons that kill.

Story in link below. Man shoots another hunter thinking it was a turkey! Always know your target.

That's why you hunt with hunters, not boys or idiots!

I'm sure more people die every year from getting hit with baseball bats.

For the life of me, I can't see how a camo'd hunter can be mistaken for a turkey!! One of the basic rules is to POSTIVELY identify your target.

Now I see why some need to have a safety class.
