Quote - I shoot traditional longbow.

You do? That's awesome!  I'm in my 40's and times have changed, but when I was a kid it wasn't uncommon, at least in my family to allow your kids to play around with weapons, LOL  My favourite "toy", and that's what it was to me,  was my bow and arrows that my father made me. I got my first set before I started Kindergarten.   We lived in a residential area just outside the city limits and my favourite thing to do was run around and shoot at trees, sides of buildings etc with my bow and arrows.  My brother's favourite was his boomerang which my Dad also made.  We were even allowed to shoot shotguns so long as my Dad was there with us.  I was too small for a 30-30 Winchester or a 22 calibre something or other, so I didn't shoot them often because I ended up getting bruised up which my Mom didn't exactly appreciate,  heh

We were taught to be responsible and told to never point them at people or creatures and we didn't.  It was great fun. I felt like Robin Hood,  lol

We moved into the city when I was 8 years old and I sure missed my bow and arrows :(   I've often considered taking up archery again over the years.  If my health improves I still might do that.
