A Newbie double Fonz.

Oh dear,

I nice Frostbite shoot and one of the other Newbies is having a really bad start, missing the boss by a good 2 feet to the side. Her bow just seems to be pointing in the wrong place.

I offer to give a hand, being a fellow left hander. Draws back, sights up, all looks ok, and releases.

At this point, it suddenly dawns on me that my bow sling is not on as her bow flys forwards out of my hand.

I apologise and no damage is done, apart from covering her nice clean bow with a huge amount of mud. I wander off feeling a ittle bit stupid and still puzzled to what her issue is.

5 mins later, she spots her problem. Shooting with the wrong eye closed.

LOL always a classic, normally with your own bow, so with someone elses it must be worth a Fonz, mind you its a good job it wasnt indoor as mud is a bit more forgiving.

a nice hard floor/gravel isnt so forgiving. You normally break things if you drop them indoors

I was tempted to post earlier, but I knew you wouldn't be able to keep away.

Note, no fish this time.

Definitely worthy of a Fonz I think. The old forgeting-the-finger-sling is one of the most widely seen cockups, in fact its abundence should negate its Fonz status, but there are few things funnier than watching a bow go cartwheeling off down the range.
To do it with someone esle's bow... Well that's just genius!
