Ed, I, too, shot a bow when I was a kid, and also had some flu-flu arrows. You were obviously a better shot as I never hit any sort of bird on the wing with mine. Growing up in Virginia, the only game bird available was quail. I can barely hit them with a shotgun, and have no chance whatsoever with a bow. 
We are off again today for another "good walk spoiled" in great cover with few birds. Still, it beats working for a living.
