Drone hunting, Robin Hood style

As a number of drones grew, people got tired of these flying bots used for spying and advertising. Imagine a butterfly that hangs right before your face while targeting your eyes with stereoscopic commercials! The first cases of drone hunting were plain self-defense but soon it turned into a sort of public sport. Since gun shooting is generally condemned nowadays, people use low-tech weaponry - bows, crossbows, slingshots. In youth gangs and clandestine Robin Hood clubs, hunters boast their scores of downed drones. Governments try to fight this illegal entertainment but human rights advocates protect archers as “fighters for privacy”, so the issue is still unsolved. Some activists insist that drone hunting must become an official sport.

James Studer to the people saying that drones could dodge bullets, even at close range, no they cannot. They probably couldn't dodge the arrows of anyone somewhat skilled at archery either. maybe by 2050 they could dodge arrows from 15-20 feet away but not bullets. they simply cant move that fast.
