Archery bruises

I think after my third session of archery in three months, I am beginning to get the hang of it...

Spent two hours at the range, pelting the target board with arrows. At one time, out of 16 arrows, I got 4 bulls with the rest in the inner rings and outer rings...no sweat, right?

I was almost tempted to think that I might have some elven blood in me after all (since elves in most fantasy fiction, including LOTR, are known to be skilled at using the bow)

Nah...I had to drop that wild idea...since I do not have the graceful movement and agility of an elf. Despite my small size, my mother says I still move like a lumbering bull and sleep like a pig at times...

WHAT!!!

Ouch, and my hands hurt...got blister on my thumb...
