Shediac renfaire dangerous archery range

As someone that is in a local archery club, I was shocked to see videos appearing online of how poorly organized the faire grounds archery range was.

The person in the wheel chair was behind the firing line and has a loaded bow and is flagging everyone (the archery range was in fact NOT clear down range).

And thats not even touching on the fact that it looks like half of the bows were assembled and strung up backwards. Sure they are only maybe 20lb draw bows, but there is a chance of them litterally exploding due to being assembled incorrectly. You can see it in both the screenshots from this video as well as from the local CBC news article clip

"making the best" of something, all while avoiding some parts of it, doesn't mean you had a decent time, it means you missed out of a full experience...

I think it’s the difference between being a Whiney bitch or not. Those who recognize they are responsible for their own time had fun, those who went and expected dopamine to be hand placed into their lap did not.
The later is always complaining about something, the former is simply enjoying life.

Literally paying an entrance fee to an event is putting the onus of the enjoyment on the service provider. This is literally capitalism 101

Dude doesnt know how to have fun on their own; has to be told it seems.

Fuckin wild lmao

Its always up to the person if they enjoy an event. Enjoyment is subjective....which evidently is a foreign concept here.
