We went to our first archery taster session this evening. Got there at 7, introduced ourselves, got the run-down on everything safety-wise - stay behind the firing line until the whistle blows to say it's safe to fetch your arrows, don't turn around with an arrow knocked (set on the string) carry the arrows point down, pull the arrows from the target making sure no one is behind you, etc etc.
OK, Got all that!
We had a bow between us and 3 arrows each and 2 hours.
I need to practice because when I did everything all at the same time, I got close to the target (LOL) and I was consistent (consistently missed the target but hit the same place, so consistently bad).
I also need to remember to pull my arm around (swivel my elbow so it points out rather than down). Otherwise, I'll get this:
And this...
And... this...
I'll do better next time!
Update tomorrow with how the bruises progress :/
