Yes, I really did feel like Katniss Everdeen from the Hunger Games today and it was the BEST FEELING EVER!!
Since I was little girl I’d always wanted to be a badass female with a bow and an arrow, and today I was.
I think the influence of shows like Once Upon a Time where Snowhite is an archer and the Hunger Games are partially to blame for my curiosity in this sport.
As soon as you pull the string back you feel this inconceivable feeling of substantial power and it’s amazing!
Turkey Shoot
I just want to clear things up right off the bat, no they were not shooting real, live turkeys—I wouldn’t have attended something like that cause #vegan.
Anyway the Silvertip Archers club put together this contest where members and non members could come and try their luck, shooting arrows at targets through several stages in hopes that they would end up in the final round and win the Christmas turkey!
The club members were all SO nice!
I walked in and they immediately greeted me and told me that I would have to try shooting!
I was more than intrigued and of course I decided to gear up.
They gave me a bow, arrows and some protective equipment to put on.
I lined up, placed the arrow on the bow, brought the bow up, pulled the string back, shut my left eye as I identified the target, and then I gently lifted my fingers off the string releasing the arrow.
BULLSEYE!!!—Just kidding! Could you imagine if I had gotten a bullseye on my first shot in 10 years?
It did hit one of the targets though, not exactly where I had planned it to but at least it hit somewhere on the actual target right?
Anyway, I do recommend this to anyone who’s ever been curious about archery!
Come on out and try it!
