Maybe this just grazes the periphery of Highland events but I wish that longbow archery was a regular part of the Games and that us "little guys" could participate in it as a separate event. No way I'm going to toss a stone much larger than a housebrick and you're not going to get a crowd for the mini-caber while the proper big-@ss caber is being tossed later in the day (wives and girlfriends excluded).

Still, be nice to do. I understand the liability issues, though...they used to have the chicago games right next to a golf course..."Omigod! Some guy just got shot with an arrow on the fourth green!"

I had to walk the Chicago Kilted Run (a lousy 3k, no less) this past year...hope to be able to actually RUN it this year. Not tossing a caber but certainly doing a bit of self-improvement to get there...

Best
