Re: Good Ol' Bow n Arrow?

i said at the same place not time :mrgreen: , i don't think joining a gun club to fire a catapult or do archery will be any benefit or cost to anyone as its main feature is a gun club I will be honest we wanted something to do, the full bore guns are easier for my disabled daughter to fire or load ...

Wind-up lanterns (LED), torches (LED), and latterly 72 LED Rolson camping lights. These are awesome. They chuck out light on minimal power. A lot will use candles-We have them. However, they are a major fire risk, because most folks in a power cut will use them. And most folks are stupid. They real...

Re: Legal or not

Would you place a very sharp knife where a child could get hold of it? I have to think of general safety and make my decisions carefully. I always do this by discussion with the stallholder.
