edonil Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Yeah, that happens all too much. Yep, should be a lot of fun. I've only had a few chances to try and was miserable at it, should be interesting to see how different it is from the standard gym class attempt of 'here's a bow, some arrows, don't shoot anyone, there's the target, oh, and safety techniques.'

SteamHammer Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Hopefully a better type of bow too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 I don't think anyone who did archery as a hobby would buy a bow that crappy...lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 The club has some kids bows that are basically just a strip of red plastic with a string on. I'm picturing something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 That's exactly what I've used in the past, lol. Might be part of why I was so bad, quality of equipment does matter quite a bit... ---------- Post added at 08:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 AM ---------- So, where you at in Sabriel?

SteamHammer Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Beginning with a bow that has a sight is a much better way of learning even if you later switch to a bare bow that doesn't have one. ---------- Post added at 01:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 PM ---------- Just found her father's body.

edonil Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 What'd you think of Mogget so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Interesting enough character. Be fun to see where it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 I always found Mogget fascinating, honestly. He gets even better as time goes on. And Sabriel is still one of my favorite heroines of all time. Honestly, I think she even edges out Honor a bit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Honor advanced too far in her career to the point where she almost became a secondary character in her own books. Disclaimer, not read the last 2-4 of her series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 To an extent, I agree with you. And I've read all the books, lol. I guess it doesn't bother me so much because I started to view it as the Honorverse idea in the middle of the Peep war. Her moving to the background let me see more of some other characters I really liked, like Pritchart, Theisman, and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowchikawowers Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Sadly I'm as single as a girl can get. It's my sisters wedding. I quite like the way the honorverse has evolved over the years. Some of the other characters are awesome and this way we get to see more of them. I quite like Abigail hearns and Helen zilwiki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 I'm now the last of my family that's not married. My grandparents are getting a teeny bit pushy over it...

bowchikawowers Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 that sounds like a pleasant use of your time. I get to attack canvas. and fix an oops i made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 A paint related oops? It was a good day, though I kind of went round in circles for a while. I need to do x, so I have to arrange y. That means sorting out z, which needs me to do x first... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowchikawowers Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Catch 22! ew. no fun. Yah, paint related oops. I put paint somewhere I shouldn't have. so now I get to cover it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
