Anybody see According to Jim tonight? I hope I'm not being overly anal. I normally love this show but I didn't like the way they dipicted hunting, the "nothing to worry about" attitude about being shot with a crossbow, and the minimalation of the wounds inflicted by a shot with a crossbow. Again, I hope I'm not being to overly touchy about this but I really wish they would have come on at the end of the show and explained that what was depicted on the show was in jest, that crossbows are efficient weapons that require skill and caution, and that the wounds inflicted by these weapons are nothing to scoff at.

If you didn't see the show, Jim and his buddy go hunting turkeys with crossbows...they are obviously inexperienced (unsafe)...anyway, Jim gets shot in the butt by a turkey(crossbow)...they continue (Jim with a limp) on, and Jim and his buddy go back hunting.....on the way home they hit the turkey with the truck (funny).

I really like this show but not this episode, and maybe I'm being too sesative but I didn't like explaining to my kids how bogus this was....and what I like even less, is that there are people out there that won't get this explained to them. I think that hurts us, our thing(bowhunting), and possibly others. The least ABC could have done was explain it.

Go ahead and tell me I'm over reacting...
