True. Also, you can buy a fat, tasty turkey for about the same as a
hunting licence and for sure less than bow and arrows too. He also
might not like killing animals once he gets one. That's what stopped
me from hunting.
Target archery is very fun though. I used to do that often as a kid.
Speaking of archery though, check this out. I have a relative that
competes in archery contests. He actually makes a living off of prize
money and sponsorships. He's my 1st cousin's grandson...so I'm related
in some remote way. hehh

My mom sent me a newspaper about one contest he won in Europe. Boiled
down to just him and some German archer so they did a final playoff to
decide the winner. The showdown was...one arrow to a target at 100
yards. The other guy went first and he hit the bullseye. Then my guy
shot and he also hit the bullseye but dead center, so he won. I'm
impressed. He was world champion compound bow archer that year.
