What should they say? They shoot arrows? Can't do it without a bow. They shoot a bow? Sounds like the bow goes flying. What do you recommend. My GS is an archer.

you say that you do archery.

Do you shoot?

yes I do. I think this is my 6th year shooting

GS does not like the term archery, he says that refers to a particular athletic sport, and that's not what he does. I think he's planning to hunt deer. He's not fussed about what it's called, he says.

That's impressive, I imagine you're pretty good at it.

I am really not that good at it. the highest score that is possible to get is 150 and I usually get around 70-75.

Hm. Do you have a coach?

How many arrows? And at what distance? Elijah says he can bull's-eye five out of six arrows at 60 feet (20 meters) and rim the 6th, and each bull's-eye is worth 10 points, so his top score would be 50 points plus whatever the rimmed one is worth. I realize that's not a competitive distance, but I'm just curious since he's obviously using a different point system than you are. He just got his compound bow set up recently so he's going to be increasing his distances now.
