    Before guns were invented, this was perhaps the best way to kill.

    Also note there are no SIGHTS like in the modern Bow & Arrow use. Still very impressive photo to my mind.

    "Then we shall fight in the shade..."

    Archers are awesome. They were the long range snipers of old school battles.

    Whoa...I just love archery, the feeling you get holding the arrow is just out of this world.

    Hope they're aiming for a few of those "Class-A" souls needing to be excised.

    This type of archery is really an art. Would love to learn it!

    I only have one question though...what is with the cowboys on the bench in the background?
