We have ourselves a...

Katniss Everdeen aint got nothin' on me, yo!

After reading and seeing Hunger Games

a few months ago, it kind of

ignited a fire in me to become the world's 

best bow shooter.

It looks easy in the movie and

it also just seems a lot less violent than shooting a gun.

So in my head, I think that if Katniss Everdeen, this tiny little

 "16" year old can shoot like a sniper,

than I easily could with 10 years on her.

(Yikes!)

So we ventured out to our friends' house and 

took turns to show off our awesome skills.
It turns out my skills aren't so awesome.

The first problem started when I couldn't pull the

string back by myself. 

That was freakishly hard so Justin helped me out.

The second problem is my aim.

That seems to be pretty important and

no, you can't just put your eye on the target and hit it.

Hence the reason my arrow hit the edge of the shed 

and not the target that is sitting in the right hand corner of

the picture below.

Hmmm...

Also, my aim is so bad that I couldn't even point to the arrow!

I don't think I'll be bow hunting any time soon...

Justin, on the other hand, is a natural.

He'd give Katniss Everdeen a run for her money

or we'd at least hope so because if not,

that would be EMBARRASSING!

Yeah, the arrows in the target, that was Justin's doing...

 And the boys played with tractors and trucks. They are cute.
