About 2 weeks ago my friends went to an indoor archery range. Let me elaborate, my friends who are girly girls, who like pink and pretty things, who watch costume drama films that are long, dull, and nothing happens for 3 hours. I was amused. Archery? Huh, with bows and arrows? I reminded them that there was nothing dainty about archery. They were determined and on an adventure, I was baffled. You see, I would be the archery type, not these two sissy mary girls. They came back and reported that they had a great time and went again a few days later.

After expressing interest in this activity, I went with my friend and her husband today. Amazing experience. I used a compound bow, definition from wikipedia, “a modern bow that uses a levering system of cables and usually cams and pulleys to draw the limbs back”. My instructor John showed me the basics and I was soon drawing a bead on the defenseless bull’s-eye target. Considering I never did this before, I was pleased with my performance. The arrows were in the targets range and grouped nicely. I even made a few bull’s-eyes. Not bad for a modern day techno-geek outdoorsy city girl.

Next time you are with friends and want to try something different that is challenging and fun, try archery. Tights and pointy ears are not required.

FYI…if you are on Long Island, visit C & B Archery, Hicksville, NY, 516.933.2697. http://www.kpsearch.com/DF/cbarchery/all.asp Their friendly and professional staff will make your first experience a memorable one. I’m heading back there tomorrow and taking my teen nephew with me.
