No he is not saying that. There are two.possible scenarios from an arrow overshoot. One is it hits something with a pulse or it buries into the ground and someone walks into it. The arse end of a buried arrow is just as nasty as the front albeit velocity and mass are from an opposing direction
He is correctly saying that in the event of an accident...they have the financial backing of an insurer to meet the worst case scenario.
It isnt a cavalier statement. Its an accurate one.
The NGB has strict rules in place to MINIMISE the potential for an incident. It does not eliminate in exactly the same way as my rifle clubs faces.
It would not be inappropriate for the club to identify what went wrong and how to minimise.....theres that word again....the possibility of it happening again.
We all take risks where its with a rifle or a bow or driving or going for a walk.
Assessing....minimising...learning from history...predicting possible scenarios will only take you so far.
If you have passaged through life without a single incident that could have serious implications then you are a rare animal indeed.
If you pissed off then write tonthe NGB - they will be on it like a car bonnet. That assumes The current NGB archery UK isnt the same bunch of idiots that GNAS used to be oor many other sports NGBs from where I sit
In a battle of wits I refuse to engage with an unarmed person.
To one shot one kill, you need to seek the S. Kill only comes from Skill
