| I forget a fingersling about once every six months. Usually catch it first bounce.

| Have done it teaching beginners (before the club made finger slings for the beginner's bows). First demonstration I actually did think about the issue and kept thought in head "must remember to hold bow", then "I'll just show that again", bow bounces across floor. Then the explanation - that's meant to happen, yes really.

| I decided to be flash and try and shoot a left handed bow in one of the practice sessions. Ofcourse, i was concentrating so hard on everything else i didn't have a finger sling on.... oops! Also a great one was when the uni tv station asked ask if we'd like to take part in their 'challenge' series, where a club challenges a presenter to complete a certain task. So we agreed on shooting an apple off of george bush's head (a picture unfortunately....  ) with the presenter allowed to shoot as many arrows as she liked in 3 minutes. Well, she missed completely, so the captain had a go (with the same bow, the boss was at about 10 yards). We decided he should only get 3 arrows. He *almost* hit it, just grazing it. Then someone said i should have a go. So up i stepped, picked up the bow, put my finger sling on (yes, i remembered it this time!) and asked the captain where he was aiming with the sight to get a rough idea. "On his left shoulder" he replied. So i aimed at his left shoulder, and released. The arrow shot up in the air, skipped off the top of the boss sending it over the boss, past the edge of the net and into the fire escape door! and all on camera too!  Fortunately i'd figure out where i needed to aim and managed *somehow* to hit the apple with the second arrow, but it just serves as a lesson, never use someone else's sightmarks!
