My Attempt At Archery

Every year my middle school goes to Chingagook, an outdoorsy -team-building camp. One of the thing we do is archery. Last year was my first year to go to Chingagook and my first year at my new middle school. I’m at Chingagook and we are all hanging out at our cabins when our teacher tell us "go down to the field were doing archery." I’m thinking what the hell??? I thought that archery was a made-up thing that only robin-hood did, now I have to shoot arrows at small targets. What a surprise, I sucked at it. I could barley get the arrow one the string let alone shoot it 15 feet. I got a highscore though! Yay me! A highscore of the number of bows lost in the forest. I think it was like 5. My friend Kelsey video taped my attempt.

 

 

 

I was so glad it was over. A month or two passes and I walk into dreaded gym class. I am not very active with sports such as soccer and basketball which I generally suck at. My class mates are always asking me if I’m stuck to the ground. I reply to them "I’m just doing my job, staying away from the ball and trying not to mess anything up." Lined up against the back of the gyms were target. The dreaded target. And on a rack was a bunch of my arch enemies, bows. Lets just say my class mates didn’t take a target anywhere near me.

    You did ok - you got a ‘nice job’ at the end of the video anyway!
    We made bows and arrows this year but luckily no-one can hit anything - mind you a couple of arrows have got stuck in tree branches!! They want to make slingshots next (sigh!!)
