This isn't helping either.
I mean, THAT'S gotta be a sign, right? --a sign that I should purchase a hand crafted longbow online for $399, right? Don't worry, I included the link in case one of my readers wins that ginormous lottery jackpot and feels especially generous...as it could be an early birthday present for moi...or if anyone wants to snake it from under me and buy it for themselves, I suppose. ;)
Of course, flaming arrows are for the more advanced and I wouldn't expect to incorporate fire for several months--even years from now. But how will we know until I get my hands on a bow and arrows. I could be a natural.
There's even going to be a dwarf in The Hobbit who will wield a bow and arrow which is not the traditional weapon for a dwarf. Ah! I can't wait!!!!
Susan's even got one. And a really nice quiver too!
It's like everybody and their brother are archers these days.
So, clearly I am not going to be able to forget about archery for sometime.
Just an interesting tidbit... I heard on the radio that sales for bows and arrows have skyrocketed within the past month. :) Loved the post!
ReplyDeleteI have a confession...I've just finished reading all three books of the hunger games. And I've drafted an e-mail response to you about 6 times, but always get pulled away from the computer.
ReplyDeleteDid you know that I shoot left-handed? Not because of my hand/arm, but because I'm left-eye dominant. We should go to an archery range sometime.
Also, I wasn't going to start any more books until I finished Sophie's World...and then Eric mailed me his copies of the HG trilogy. I'll make contact with you once sophie's world is over. ugh!!
