Tell me this doesn't look like fun!

Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

We kinda did the same thing one night. Several dark home brews some bunny busters and a 30# lil bow. Equal parts home brew and stupidity = brusies.

Used to do the same thing when we were kids, but without the marshmallows. They were just kid made bows but it's a wonder no one ever got (seriously) hurt.  All the things we did that our mothers never knew about....... We could fill a book, I'm sure :o  . No wonder we are so protective of our kids .
     It does look like fun though ,JW.  I wonder how long before someone  gets injured and ruins the fun for everyone.  >:(  good way to hone your skills on a moving target! ;D ;D ;D

I'm guessing that she learned Asiatic with a thumb ring Scott.  They draw the arrow on the other side of the bow.  It does look like fun, but after about two minutes I would be an easy target while laying on the floor gasping for air like a beached whale!  Lol!  Josh

But she's not using a thumb release in the pic. W/ the black arrow and black riser it's hard to tell for sure what side the arrow is on.

I used to paintball all the time then it got expensive ( fuel prices) , so I'd defiantly get involved in it .

I wonder if a cup could be cut into the front of the "marshmallow" and hold a paintball?  Something that leaves a telltale mark short of blood/bruising/fracture. 

You know, just keeping it honest. 

Maybe we need a Challenge Build, 25# bow, matching arrows, and then we choose up sides next year at the Classic!
