"Sorry, you can't shoot with us, You are not G.N.A.S. No, Sorry, you are not N.F.A.S. etc.etc. But when a swan or other animal gets shot with an arrow (crossbow or other)Who gets the flak? G.N.A.S.! Also, I dont't believe in Longbow clubs and longbow shoots! We promote archery in all it's forms, what would happen if we put on a compound bow only shoot? Apart from finishing sooner, not having to rake for longbow arrows, they would be up in arms at being left out!. Joking aside, It's time we addressed the situation before it gets out of hand and accidents of a serious nature happen!.


Maybe you should instigate another poll to gauge members feelings on this.

Ah ha, I see.

Still, I don't see why having one society alone would solve any problems. Besides, it would never work. The NFAS and GNAS are just too different.
