Veins, Shafts, and Recurves


Today I was living the dream. First, I biked to a stupid work meeting. I love that biking is the first thing i do in the day, you know after getting out of bed, stretching, eating, dressing, and eating one bite more. It calms me and gets me so jived. I love it. Then after the meeting I biked 8 more miles to the archery range! I have been trying to get back into archery since I took a class with Lindsey in Rexburg. But everywhere I have lived just had inaccessible ranges and no rentals. FINALLY, in SLC it is not the case. One of the things going for the city. I spent THREE HOURS shooting! This older dude gave me some pointers and I did much better after a while. I got a blister on my finger. After many strange experiences with 50 year old single men, I tried to be as unfriendly as possible. Somehow I still ended up with Donnie from Tennessee's business card. Anyways, it felt so good to shoot again. Now, I know the big question. Did i only do this because I am so obsessed with the Hunger Games that I thought I should be a big shot like Katniss? While I love Katniss and secretly do want to be like her, I have been trying to get to the range long before I read the books. Towards the end I was getting some really nice grouping.

 By the way, Donnie also shot at my target which made me mad because I wanted to keep it to see how it recorded my improvement. Whatever. Bottom line, it was amazing. I am on my way to being lethal.
