BUT - the issue is wider in archer, because a bow is used and two people are involved.

A man falling off a horse is an accident

And what happens when someone with no knowledge of archery decided that the consequences were too steep, and legislation is brought into archery?

You can't legislate for a car accident, or a snowboarding accident.

But you can ban a bow - its a weapon.
I'm getting worried, I'm agreeing with more and more of Sam's posts.

Absolutely right, we've seen more and more restrictive laws passed, banning this and that with the slightest excuse, and the last thing we need is a reason to ban archery, idiots copying this video could provide the excuse.
