I used to see a guy in a bar I frequented a few years ago, he was kinda a jerk, but he said that he had just gotten some "master" rank in the art of kyudo. He told me that it was intended for shooting into dark halls when being attacked. That the archer had to listen to the attackers coming and shoot when they were a certain distance away. 90 feet I think he said.  Any truth to this? Just what I heard. I read the Zen of Archery once, then heard it was a crock of crap later.  ::) I don't mind watching the girls shoot kyudo. How about that ninja dude on youtube that shoots his bow sideways? Anybody seen him? Or the real fast girl w/ the flipped/thumb down draw? I degrees....

if he really was a "master" he wouldn't be spouting of about it in a bar dp, seams foolish that the art of kyudo is meant for what was said
failure is an option, everyone fails, it's how you handle it that matters.

He wasn't really "spouting".  ;D We were just talking about it and he told me he was going to his next level shoot. The next time I saw him I questioned him about it. Like I said, he was always abit of a snobby ass. That's why I would ask him about it. To get under his skin.  >:D Jack asses and PBR sometimes gets me rascally.   >:D ;) dp

Sounds Fun Ben!! If I ever make it that far West I'll be sure to look you up. Or you can take some time off and come to the Classic in May. I don't get to rascally, but I do a heck of a job keeping up...or at least staying up.  ;D Several on here can vouch for me on that, and I them.  ;)
