I really would love to take up archery (and wanted to do so for years before this new hype about it) but don't know where to start. I should look into that again. I will say this... I do believe that everyone should have a very basic gun safety course, even those who do not own them. And I think it should be done at a young age. This is what my dad did with me (he was a police officer and kept his duty weapon with him as they were required to have "control of their weapons at all times"). I grew up with a healthy respect for the weapon and never messed with it due to that. It is my belief that a lot of the problems when it comes to guns in homes and accidents involving children is that the gun is kept a mystery to the child. It is considered a "toy" because there was no teaching otherwise.
it is great fun. Remember to protect your arm!
