Ahh but its now been revealed that Batman == Ninja !!!!

You are thinking of Batman 1.0 rather than Batman 4.0

Just cos you are named after a mis-spelling of a BM1.0 sound effect bubble :P

Dosnt have the same kinda ring to it.

Maybe with a quick burst of brass instrument for sound effect and it'll be ok?

Because I owned one, custom tuned at Bisley, accurate and great fun (ever tried a mad minute ?)

Cheers Mark.

As I see it that law actually means you can shoot ANYONE with a bow in Chester on that day.

Would be racial discrimination otherwise.

Other cities with similar laws (and I am staying away from York) Hereford may suit you better Baph.

Chester
You can only shoot a Welsh person with a bow and arrow inside the city
walls and after midnight.

Hereford
You can shoot a Welsh person all day, but only on Sunday, with a
Longbow, in the Cathedral Close.

York
Upon sight of a Scotsman, it is still legal to shoot him with a bow and
arrow, except on Sundays.
There are other crazy English laws @ http://www.ijmc.com/archives/2000/Fe...ruary2000.html

Happy Hunting

Vaguely remember some (probably urban legend) "law" that it's perfectly legal to shoot a Welshman with a traditional Sherwood longbow within the boundaries of Nottingham?

Great minds, although compounds are cheating, TD recurve is the way to go



(although I will admit, it's been hung there for the last 15 years)

Oh they are sooo not cheating...

... well OK, maybe just a little bit. They're easier to badly shoot reasonably well, but much harder to consitantly shoot really well.

That said I have got an old longbow too - but it's a lightweight little thing as I really can't get on with the draw style.

Strange - I couldn't hit the side of a barn 10 feet away if I was to throw a ball at it - but put a 'mechanical device' in my hands like a gun or bow and suddenly I'm accurate. Go figure.
