What Na'vi Indigenous Skills are you Learning - other than Languange

[Human No More]

Right now, not much
I do intend to get a bow and learn eventually, but right now lack both the money and anywhere suitable for practice

Same here :/
Wanted to do archery since I was a child... And even more since Avatar. Hope I'll be able to do that one day.
Plus I'd like to be able to track things and hunt them down with my bow, but yeah... That'll be kinda hard to do here in the region I live in :/

Even if I can't hunt with it (impossible due to location, really), I just wish I had somewhere I could learn and practice by myself (especially since I want to learn the Na'vi style and not the typical one ); everywhere here is an organised type thing, and mostly too far away for me to reasonably get to.

So, there's no field within ten miles of where you live? I find that hard to believe.

I'm afraid that you don't understand something about the great majority of Europe Moco Loco, the Government, and private, "Landed" family's OWN 95 percent of it. If there IS a field down the road, and it is not owned by the Crown, or Government, then it is owned by a family that has owned it for hundreds of years, and he can be ARRESTED for Trespassing just for being ON IT, and if he is caught on it with a Bow and arrow, they can add POACHING to the charges. A lot of Americans have NO IDEA how Blessed we are for living here.

Not quite. Where I live unless it's someone's garden, there isn't much privately owned land - I'd need to drive for a while to get there, and there isn't really any huntable wildlife (too close to the coast and a lack of the right kind of forest). Technically, you're only trespassing in any case if there are clear signs forbidding access or physical security, or people are asked to leave and don't. Publicly owned land isn't restricted unless it's some kind of official purpose.

There's a nice open green space a short bus ride or long walk away which theoretically would work for practice... except I'd be more worried about some kind of health and safety person coming over and saying it's dangerous to practice there or something. Either way, I mostly just think I'd need a garden or some private land that I could use to do it for that reason.

HNM, I would say to just go for it. I used to go over to a local field which was technically public ground to shoot my air rifle off at all kinds of bottles and cans... *That* was actually somewhat worse than bow and arrow shooting... However I woud only suggest this under a few provisos; Firstly, is the route to the field relatively clear? To get to where I need to be, I only need to walk roughly 300 meters, and most of that is through side-streets, very few main roads or people. Second, does where you have in mind to shoot have an area of bracing land behind it? If you shot something, would it carry on? Where I used to shoot, it was braced by about a 150 meter stretch of woods that led down to a river in the direction I was shooting in, so there was little danger I could hit someone or something behind, it was likely to get caught up in undergrowth. However, I don't know how practical that would be for ammunition you need to recollect. Shooting into a bank would help with that, but could damage the arrows. Thirdly, if you want to transport it, I would definitely suggest a case or padded bag of some sort. (Maybe you could even make one from natural materials as a side project?) Last, I would suggest this; if you are found with a bow, it is not illegal to carry one in the UK. It has to be proven to be adapted for use on other humans before they could prosecute you, the arrows could indeed fall under the Offensive Articles section if openly carried, but the most they would likely do (provided you offered a reasonable explaination/reaction and did not try to escape them if questioned about it) would be to confiscate them for pick up later at the local police station, but I wouldn't be surprised if they let you off with a verbal warning to take them back home with you.

Fun Archery fact; It is still legal for an Englishman to kill a Scotsman with a bow and arrow within the walls of the city of York.

Even in Brooklyn, I could probably find a spot in the park. I'm not saying you won't get told something, just give it a try. I've definitely shot a bow in areas I wasn't technically allowed to and gotten away with it.
