The oldest evidence of stone-tipped projectiles, which may or may not have been propelled by a bow dating to c. 64,000 years ago, and the oldest bow so far recovered is about 8,000 years old, found in the Holmegård swamp in Denmark

Some symptoms of wolfsbane poisoning include vomiting, sweating, frothing at the mouth, confusion, dizziness, numbness and tingling about the face, mouth and limbs, a burning sensation in the abdomen. Symptoms appear within an hour of exposure and death follows within 6 hours....wow

these days, we train for fun & health Photo0388.jpg but the rules are same.Where you place your feet, how you hold the bow, the way you breathe during the release of the arrow—it all determines the end result.Zanshin is a word used commonly throughout Japanese martial arts to refer to a state of relaxed alertness. Literally translated, zanshin means “the mind with no remainder.” In other words, the mind completely focused on action and fixated on the task at hand. Zanshin is being constantly aware of your body, mind, and surroundings without stressing yourself. It is an effortless vigilance.

so, when someone tells me:"you are wasting time on that toy" i say :"wanna be a target so we can play?...or hold an apple for me on your head will'ya"
