Are they really sure it was a bear? An adult bear weighing 40kg and measuring a meter long is really, really small, even in the spring.

I don't know if it is OK or not but I don't think I'll stop. I did stop touching so much though. In my hometown, people are always touching other people when talking, it's only natural in that area but I had to beat that one out of my system.
A compliment is a compliment, take it as is 'cause in my case there is no return policy.

Good idea in my opinion. I look at it as an investment in its future, but make sure that kids don't have to pay anything.

Hit the gym and lift heavy, reduce calories, adopt a healthy diet, stop drinking your calories and do a couple of HIIT sessions a week and you'll be able to use that money for something worth it.

Agreed. It is some of the older drunks that have given me some problems in the past, especially when they are not alone.

I am from a small town so I would say, it is about the same. But if you are comparing big cities, Japan wins the safety feelings checks.

It is usually safe and most places have well-established safety procedures. The problem is if you put someone new in there, they usually make mistakes. The sky over the archery area is never covered, and never fully enclosed but with enough practice, I hardly ever see people getting hurt, usually just forearms getting struck when shooting or someone forgetting to account for their glasses. Newbies spend a lot of time hitting very large targets about a quarter of the distance first, then they increase the distance to a half, then three-quarters and usually, by then, they are ready to hit a smaller target. Where I practice, this progression takes a few weeks.
We usually ask that new members stay in the middle of the shooting area to make sure that they have enough space on both the left and the right to allow for mistakes. Arrows going up are not usually a problem since the roof of the target area is very high and I have never seen someone shoot over that area. By the time they touch an arrow and let it loose, they have already spent a lot of time with the bow, practicing the shooting forms.
Ebisen is quite correct in saying that you can miss even when doing everything the right way. And it is surprisingly difficult for some to muster enough power to shoot the arrow all the way to the target the first few times.

I like kyudo and I practice it once a week but I am often surprised that people forget that it is a martial art and a dangerous one at that. Poor guy, walking in the wrong place at the wrong time. Odaijini!
