We work with several other helpers at camp. The guy who teaches archery
needed some assistants so DH and I got volunteered to learn enough
about the skill to be able to help beginners.
We were absolutely beginners ourselves so it took a bit of work to get us to learn how to stand and how to hold the bow.

Everdeen doesn’t need to worry about competition from either of us for quite a
while.
Still,
after a few attempts I managed to get all six arrows in the target.
I also learned about "string slap."
I was given instructions on how to avoid it.
I didn't learn from my mistakes.
