at first I thought he was going to ride it? I think he said it was a "Confound" bow, I can see the reason for the name, it confounded me, and it beats me why anyone would carry this thing around the bush.Admittedly it did shoot an arrow, that is after he pulled out his golf ball distance measuring thing then put this vice like thing that was attached to his wrist onto the string, looked through a ring with little pins in it, checked to see if the level on the ring thing had the bubble in the middle
He then repeated the whole process because the goat had by this time moved from where the golf distance thing first told him how far away it was, luckily the goat stopped for 5mins to allow enough time to prepare for the shot or we could have been there for ever
The shot having been made and the goat being felled I was reasonably impressed, that was until I was advised that although the Confound bow had all these funny little things on it it did not have a swiss army knife to skin or butcher the animal, I was amazed
the only thing that could have been of any value had been ommitted by the inventor of this weird contraptionAfter wittnessing the event I was concerned that my Widow didn't have enough stuff hang'n of it, but I persevered and was lucky enough to get a couple...I might however put a level and a protractor on it so I am able to work out the slope of the hill I'm standing on.
You'll note that although his bow has all the stuff on it it was still necessary for him to gauge the wind with his finger?
Nice billy though.
