My new bow will be named Birgitte. She's not silver, but definitely one of the female persuasion, if only because she's high-strung every once in a while. *grin* Besides. She's got cuuuuuuuurves.
In any case, I'll need a good armbracer and some form of protection for my fingers on the right hand (draw hand). They feel like I've just played two hours of guitar after being out of practice for a year. I probably am out of practice for a year now. Shame on me.

I'll have such a blue left arm for the upcoming I-don't-wanna-know-how-many-days, but it's worth it. I figured out I easily shoot off, tending a bit towards the left. And after hitting myself on the arm with the bowstring for maybe...aw...say, twentyfive times (with an almost 30lbs bow...), I just had to stop. So NoKey shot some too.

So I'll be making myself a nice bracer and fingerguard out of leather in the upcoming while. And then I'm going to practice like hell. And then try me, you fuckers.

Try you THEN?
I wouldn't pick a fight with you NOW, except maybe if I was suicidal.

I uh... will just be hiding behind the tin man (also known as andor.... although I still think it should be lorrie instead of lorin...)

*cackles evilly*

Why are you so afraid of a woman with a bow?
Ah. Maybe because arrows are through damage...

Yay, archery ^>^

How many shots did you fire? O.o

About twenty-five, then my arm was too blue to continue. The bruise has now retreated and is growing greenish-purple. I reckon I can shoot some more in a day or two.

Greenish O.o

You could, of course, try holding the bow funny so you don't hit your arm =P

Well, she could do that, but i doubt she will, the whole trick is to keep one straight line in your body, arm to shoulder, so your whole frame takes the stress and not any muscles.. you can seriously hurt your back/shoulder that way.
