that'll be great.
The degree of satisfaction gained from the accomplishment of a goal is directly proportional to the hardships and challenges overcome in order to achieve it.

There is a submission that has been put to the NSW government to allow bowfishing of European carp in inland waters,I was told this at an Australian Bowhunting Association branch meeting and we were asked to back the submission.I have not heard if it has been approved.
