Thread Name: BS: Any Archers out there?
Subject: RE: BS: Any Archers out there?
I took my husband to the Norfolk Show last year for the first time. He's from the Senoufou tribe, but was born and lived all his life in Abidjan, a large city. When he saw the Archery stand his eyes lit up, so he had a go with six arrows for £1. (Full-size bows, not toys) He's never before held a bow, but he looked like an expert as he drew the bow and shot all six one after the other and hit the middle bull's eye every time. The man was surprised to learn it was his first ever time. Naturally he had lots more tries, and practically every time he did the same thing. His tribe were originally forest dwellers in the rainforests of West Africa, and lived by hunting with bows and arrows. I'm convinced that he's genetically made to shoot arrows with precision. What do you think?
