With a British woman
flirting with success, before bowing out, in the archery contest at Rio we had
a brief view on TV of her at work with her bow and arrow, or at least I think
the contraption she was holding was a bow, though it bore only a passing resemblance
to Robin Hood’s weapon of choice; yes it had a ‘string’ to it but instead of a
stave of ash was a length of synthetic material off which sprung about half a
dozen spurs in several directions (stabilisers, counterbalances, range finders
etc.) the only thing lacking was a set of wheels to save her the bother of
holding it up – it may all make for accuracy but it would never have caught on
in Sherwood Forest.
