	I find the clue for poll is misleading. I thinnk poll refers to everyone voting at an election, like polling the electorate. Does not refer to one person casting a vote.

	Nice quiz. I don't think of BOWS as being a weapon in archery. The arrow is a weapon. Unless you smack someone upside the head with the bow....

	outstanding use of sports-related clues for the words between the beginning and ending words! great theme!

	5 globes for including triple jump.

	I suppose the arrow could be the weapon if you consider a bullet to be a weapon rather than the gun. You could stab with the arrow, but then it would be a spear. You could also throw an arrow but it would probably be as effective as throwing a bullet.

	Phew...six seconds left...mounting panic when the red 10 flashed up!

	Why is it that I always do so well on the first few words, and then can't think of anything toward the end on word ladders?

	I don't really want to meet the person that throws a bowling ball.

	In archery, I hope neither the bow nor the arrow is a weapon: it's not supposed to be a combat sport! But in its historic roots, both together are the weapon.

	Probably could have made a few more of them sports-related. Such as rose and dunk, rather than needlessly deviating from the theme.

	@slowdown - My 5 year old throws a bowling ball. It makes a horrible noise when it hits the lane and I always turn around to see if the lane manager is glaring at him...

	"Boundary around a pitch" ... What about ZONE? Like the Strike Zone? or am I missing a different sports reference here? Clever quiz!

	@Big_E: Would you consider a gun a weapon? I sure would. Same concept.
