Yeah I used to make my own bow's out of berch wood.:)
Here's a funny story that none of you will believe.....
Back in 96 I was sitting with my friend in a gazebo And I had the bright idea of trying to fire wooden cooking skewers down the garden with a sling shot. I fired the first one and it flew really well. So I thought WOW this is pretty cool! So I load up another and fire it and I didn't see where it went, So my friend and I walked up the garden for a while looking for it and couldn't find it. So we sit back down and I looked over to him and his face is filled with shock and he say's......
Dave....... Your arm!!!
So I look down and see this wooden skewer buried in my wrist! It was only then that it started to hurt!:D
I had to be taken to hospital to have the bloody thing cut out.
And I still have the scar!:D
