These guys are just brilliant A few years ago a guy (I think his name is Paul?) worked for Custom Built Archery Mansfield, Notts. He was a right hand archer but had a motor bike accident (I think) and lost his left arm. He managed to change to left handed and drew his string with his teeth, he also used to fletch all the arrows for CBA and did a great job. I think he has moved to America now, a very nice man and a good shot too _________________ aka Cherrie Secretary Black Arrow Field Archery Club
