If you do that I'll eat my bow......

[arcus maximus]

Whilst on the shooting line attempting to hit 100 yards for the first time with my long bow. A fellow archer rashly said, "If you hit that I will eat my bow".

So, any suggestions on the best way to eat a recuve bow and the best way to make it tasty? Humble pie is not an option as the archer concerned may be a bit full after eating (a) his words and (b) his bow.

Reminds me of the time my youngest when aged 8 wanted to have a go at the 100 yard target the adults were shooting.....He was told that if he managed to reach it let alone hit it, by the club captain, he'd give him a tenner. So up he steps, arm up 45 degree angle, loose, GOLD !!!!!

Wish I'd had a camera to get a picture of the jaw on the ground.

Anyway, recurve with onions and plenty of salt goes down well....

yer that happens a few times around our place the last time it happened at our club, the member yelled !!! out with joy and packed up his kit and went home with the idea of hitting it , well the thing you should give for the person to eat with his bow is give him/her there favourite meal

Arrow mint?
Back bacon and belly pork?
Tab asco sauce?
A descent knife to cut it with?

Reminds me of something that happened a few weeks ago:
My dad was shooting at 100yards and he put a target pin in the centre.
I bet him a fiver that he couldn't hit it.... he took photos as proof!
I'll keep my mouth shut next time!

Not saying it was a fluke though arcus maximus - I'm sure you're an excellant longbow archer!

Shooting 80 yds for the first time (i was 12 at the time) I was hitting no more than 4 arrows at one time. My dad bet me £10 that I couldnt hit with all 6arrows. Scored soemthing like 30 out of 54. Never did see that tenner.
