Picture Prompt-172-Archery

A few more days of practice

I hope that’s all it takes
These arrows that they packed us
Could be used for stakes!

The weight is just tutorial
Practice for what’s seen on film
But I can only hit the rim
Intended target is so thin
Even with the arrow trimmed
Chances of hitting it are slim.
I like the costume and the words
But shooting arrows is for nerds
My character is hero born
With talents that are well worn
But alas I am forlorn
For archery they’ll have to mourn.

That one illustrated may look the part but one may see. it is underpowered from the lack of a heavy belly. Oh it will go okay and is accurate to about 30 maybe forty feet. Not much penetrating power though. Also without a forearm sleeve; the shooter is in danger of a bad rash from the string. I know they are just graphics to illustrate a nice poem. Just writing …
