Archery Class

Our next adventure was learning archery.  It’s pretty easy, but takes a bit to learn to aim properly. 

If you don’t hold the bow and aim properly, you get wonderful snap marks on your forearm.  Ouchie! 

Mine faded after a few hours, but Doug’s looked like a hickey on his arm for a day or two. 

Doug did great right handed, but decided to try it left handed since he’s left eye dominant when shooting a gun.  It took him a little bit to get it down, but he did really well on his left side too. 

I took a number of pictures to show how we did; we did this for an hour and I didn’t want to take a thousand pictures :).  These are the first 5 rounds – we had 5 arrows each time (Doug is blue, I'm green): 

There were a number of stuffed animals on the walls – one reminded me of Ruger carrying antlers, so I did a side by side: 

I’ll post our targets after we finished when I take pictures of them later.
