Ijust heard on another site that Commanders in Iraq have shut down any archery going on by the troops, bows and arrows to be confinscated.

wasnt there a thing while back where tradgang sent some bows and stuff over there?

Not true.

I am a soldier currently serving in Iraq, and I shoot my bow every day. There are about 8 of us in just my company who shoot, including the First Sergeant.

I have heard nothing of the kind, and I dont know why any commander would do something so stupid. But there are some really stupid commanders out there...........

It wouldnt surprise me that some commanders would do something like that. Our Troop commander is all for any kind of recreation that would keep his troops sain. But like Russ said, there are Soldiers in out ranks that lack common sence and its unfortunate that some of them are high up in the tree.

All it takes is for "ONE" soldier to do something REALLY carless with the equipment, and that will ruin it for everyone. Hopefully that wasnt the case.
