First Archery Practice

John and I attended our first ever archery practice this past Sunday and really enjoyed it. I was afraid it was going to be a total wreck, because I have shaky hands.

Green and white is John, Yellow and Black is me

Green and white is John’s. Yellow and black is mine.

The bruises looked even uglier the day after

My goal was not to have the arrow land less than two feet in front of me. Looks like I managed that. John was even luckier. He managed to consistently hit the target. I, on the other hand, mangled my arm during my first few shots, so every time I shot, I winced and the arrow went off course. Better luck next time… with an armguard. We are already considering our first bow purchase.  Our top choice is the Samick Sage. We’re going to venture down to an archery store down in Kendall to see if there is anything else that sparks our interest.
