That's nothing. Apparently there are some out there who still do things like ride horses, make their own bread, sing songs, and drink alcoholic beverages. Join the 21st century already, people!

I guess you've never heard of the "Olympics" either, eh?

All I know is that if there's a zombie outbreak I want an olympic archer with me for when we run out of ammo.

You're right; it's not like bows require ammo.

I'm sure arrows would be real effective against zombies too :)

arrows can be made much more easily than bullets. and yes, broadheads would work against zombies.

How do you know?

You wouldn't have the hydrostatic shock that a bullet provides, but if the grey matter disruption of a small-calibre round to the head is sufficient to drop a zombie, a heavy draw bow and a broadhead oughta work, too--and the arrow might be more re-usable than a bullet.

Wow, those -x comments get pretty unreadable.

That is the idea...

I think that's the point. (Of course, you can always highlight them).

I had to. Yes, I know the reason.
