Archery: Legolas vs Katniss

Since the Hunger Games just came out it only seemed fitting to go to an archery range and do some shooting ourselves. We also just finished watching the series Lord of the Rings with the archer, Legolas, so we were looking forward to being just these characters. I found a Groupon online to an archery range close by so we decided it would be something fun to do.

It was a little intimidating at first since neither of us have shot an arrow before, we knew we would make fools of ourselves but thats part of the fun of learning, right? We got our bow and arrows and the worker there gave us a small lesson on how to shoot the arrows and then we were on our own.


Of course we competed with each other, its just our nature. We both won some battles but Jason unfortunately won the war. I think I was more precise while he was more accurate (which convinces me that maybe I won in a sense), but I admit to my defeat. Legolas wins.

Jason's Target

We went outside for a bit to shoot at a longer range, which was not as much fun since it was more shooting then aiming since the targets were a lot farther. Maybe one day we will be more advanced. Overall, I thought it was worth it. Probably not something we would do often but maybe sometime in the future again if we feel like it.
