<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 2067868, member: 19065&quot;]I happen not to think of archery as static. Certainly there are tournaments and archery clubs to enjoy it like a leisure activity shooting at targets. However, I think of it as out dated in terms of effective confrontational battle equipment and am not sure how true to form Lars&#039; acrobatics would have been in the ancient field of battle. I think of archery in terms of warfare as made obsolete by other technological advancement.</p><p><br /></p><p>And to my point, for the Japanese archers, Kyudo has transcended time, taken from a warrior past developed in an isolated ancient culture, while maintaining it&#039;s ritualistic and meditative aspect to a life philosophy. It functions with purpose beyond combat, isn&#039;t viewed as entertainment nor performed in an exhibitionist manner by it&#039;s adherents today, and could easily still be effective as a functional tool of offense or defense. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think Lars has taken his archery, with influences collected throughout time, and made something unique that didn&#039;t exist before. He&#039;s very good at what he has achieved. </p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, I&#039;m enjoying the coins as much as the discussion. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
