Interesting picture for the “Archery” section. We’ve always been told that alcohol and guns don’t mix; but I guess that it’s OK with bows and arrows!

Since you can only load arrows one at a time(for the average bow, please don't mention autoloading cross bows)and it is difficult enough to keep the arrow on the rest when you are sober, a drunk archer doesn't pose much of a threat. However, your scores, if you are target shooting, are going to be in the toilet as you get more and more loaded. If hunting you will probably not see the buck anyway!

On a serious note, broadhead arrows are extremely dangerous and I would not recommend that anyone fool around with them while drinking. Target arrows can put a hole in a companion and this would be another reason for not drinking while shooting your bow.
