The Airow Gun: Paintball Archery, Anyone?
I have just taken up archery and I hear that you need to practice a LOT, I would love something like this if it could realistically simulate the experience, and using a 'real' bow sounds like a very good start; the point being that I can't practice archery in my garden (obviously), even with enough space, but a sort of neutered version that still requires the same movements and encourages good form would be great.
probably quite a limited application that, but still..

It's a website that caters to a new 'style' of paintball called 'magfed', which requires that players use magazines that hold 7-20 rounds in their various guns.
The goal of magfed is that it forces each player to reload more frequently and gets rid of the large, obtrusive hoppers. It helps players focus more on those tactics and less on their trigger fingers. It also saves money, as a magfed player goes through a fraction of the paint as someone playing 'tournament' style.
Plus the guns tend to be heavy duty and tactically-minded in their design; so it's a bit more practical than using the airow gun.
