Today I took my international student to the archery range. I'm glad I picked the indoor one. It was pouring.
When I called Friday I wasn't sure what was going on, so I decided not to shoot. My girl kicked butt. She ended up having a class. When testing her strength for the bow the instructor noticed how she held the arrow. Americans don't do it that way. (He called her hold medieval. Pretty spot-on for a country as old as Turkey. Thankfully I don't think she heard it.)
She started with a regular bow, then moved on to one with a scope. She missed the target twice. One hit the bottom wall and came tearing back at us. Mostly she hit red, and quite often, yellow.
Given some practiced she'd really be good at this. She told the instructor she wanted to learn Olympic style archery. He said, you just did. Turkey's Olympic team, here she comes.
