  • I don’t know exactly, but this is specially made equipment. I’ve never seen a bow with a hole in the handle for the arrow. That makes a lot of sense, it’s probably very difficult to balance the arrow just right. And because of the hole, I’m not seeing much in the way of fletching on that arrow. The grip is also made for toes. I would guess it is a lower weight bow.

    I had a much higher tolerance for bad movies when I was younger, like early twenties. Now if a movie is really bad I just turn it off, no loss. The last one was Madame Webb, what a mess. I just watched Borderlands and that’s about the worst movie I can sit through.



  • Falconry in the US exists as an exclusion from the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. Both of these laws make it illegal to disrupt or possess native birds or their parts. Falconers successfully petitioned the government to let them take wild raptors from the wild as long as falconers themselves regulate the participants. If the falconers are not being respectful of the birds it would be incredibly easy to strip their privileges.

    In the same sense RC flying is a privilege from the FAA after too many people flew drones into airports and HAM is a privilege from the FCC to keep people from jacking up the airwaves.


  • I think those only need 1 test to play with them, and that’s because they are regulated by the government. They want people to follow the rules because if they don’t it can come down on all of them.

    The biggest one of these that I know of is falconry which requires 1 falconry test, 1 hunt test, 1 inspection, and finding a two year sponsor. Falconry is specifically set up to gatekeep as to protect the sport in the USA.
