Yeah, i can see where your coming from Germ. Im just thinking if i lived in a small neighborhood and had a small kid playing in the back yard i wouldnt want some teenagers next door shooting bows anywhere close to my kid.
If taught correctly I do not see a problem. How about some of these teenagers driving next to your kids? Funny we seem to have an accteble tolerance for things that kill people.
Cars driving without resonsiblity is an "Accident", with a lot times the driver getting behind the wheel again. Someone shooting a bow in a target is considered a public saftey concearn[&:] We have people driving around with mutlple DUI in townships, but hey lookfor the guy with the bowtech[&:] My all time favorite is PETAFILES, but hey our kids can go to thearpy.
As Stossel says "Gimmie a break"
Sorry Mike not ranting at you, this topic burns my butt.
As much as I hate to say this, your scenario doesn’t work. In many cases, teen driving is a necessity. Shooting a bow is not.
Like I posted, I’d like to see stats and documented accounts of stray arrow injuries before I jumped on any ban wagon. Dont think I am supporting this, just wont scream foul until i see documentation. I, as a bow hunter for over 25 years, have been put out by teenagers next door shooting at hay bails up agianst my fence. I use to fined holes all in my fence as well as arrows in my back yard. If I had kids at the time, idbe worried aboutwreckless people shooting a weapon in the direction of where mykids play. Its the ingrates that will ruin it for all us good folks.
