WHO: Tris Prior and Oliver Queen WHAT: Learning New Things WHEN: Friday Mid-morning WHERE: Target Range in the Woods WARNINGS: TBD, but probably fairly low STATUS: Open/Ongoing
There were few things that could relax Tris completely, but being able to learn new skills came awfully close. She had bought a bow from the sports store and she was trying to mimic what she had seen Daryl do. Of course, it probably didn't help that she had a different bow than he used. She tried to buy one like his, but after being asked so many questions from the salesman, she had given up on that. Apparently, she could buy a regular bow, but to have a crossbow a guardian needed to approve of it. She had a way around that, though. Tobias would get it for her, or she would give Daryl the money and ask him to purchase it for her.
She was still having a hard time using a gun, but she knew that she had to keep her skills up with that, too. She'd told Shaun about how good she was, which meant that she couldn't just refuse to touch a gun now. Her gun might be needed and she had too much respect for the Masons not to make sure that she was in top form if they needed her.
However, working with the bow was what she was focusing on this morning. It was a lot different than a gun or throwing knives -- and she needed to ask the new girl, Clove, to go throwing with her -- and it engaged her mind because of the differences.
Today, she was determined to stay out here until she hit a target at least once. She'd been working with the bow all week and hadn't yet managed to hit the damn target. She was determined that it would change today.
Her shoulders make ache like hell by the end of the day and her hands may cramp, but she would hit the damn target by nightfall.
