Archery Aust CEO calls for intro of regulations after China incident

A Chinese schoolboy has survived an archery accident which saw an arrow pierce his eye and travel through his head without penetrating his brain.

Eleven-year-old Liu Cheong was practicing archery at his Jiutai City school in eastern China when one of his schoolmates accidently shot him.

The arrow pierced Liu's right eye socket before the tip lodged in the back of his skull, leaving about 50cm of the shaft protruding from his head.

Doctors at the Jida Hospital in Changchun cut the arrow shaft, before x-raying the wound and operating for hours to remove the arrow.

"It is a miracle he survived the accident," a medic at the hospital was reported in The Sun newspaper as saying.

Liu is recovering but doctors warned he is still at risk of infection from the deep wound.

Archery Australia chief executive Jim Larven said there had never been a recorded incident of an archer shooting another archer in the 60-year history of his organisation.

However, bows do not have to be registered in Australia, and there had been at least one murder and several serious accidents involving archers who did not belong to clubs.

"There are probably hundreds of thousands of people who own bows in Australia," Mr Larven said. "There's no regulation, but there should be."
