I see the day coming when employers will make you take a urine test to check for such an addiction. I think archery is responsible for more lost work days than anything else. Also causes workers to not focus on there tasks.

Awesome however if you really want to get hooked, try handcrafting your own wood arrows...unless you handcrafted the wood arrows you are shooting...if you did, then congrats...you've gone completely traditional.

There is something amazing and artistic about a wood arrow in flight. It will never get old for me
Shooting anything other than wood arrows out of a traditional bow is....strange."
