The (mis)adventures and thoughts of an aspiring master archer, lifter, and fantasy author who happens to be irresistibly drawn towards wolves, raptors, and parrots. They may say there's no such thing as Paradise or Perfection, yet I'm still searching for them. Why do I keep searching? A voice speaks to me and says: "Search for Paradise and aspire for Perfection"...

An Evening with Hawkwing
So today, I decided to do a bit of 3-D to amuse myself a bit. Hawkwing, by the way, is my 68" longbow, a not-so-maneuverable weapon for me. Anyway, here's all my non-embarassing shots (ie, I hit the first time and suffice to say, I've come to the conclusion that while Hawkwing is a real fun bow to shoot and is actually very forgiving of my technique although it has been a bit picky with arrows (but not as picky as most longbows). I think I prefer to compete with Sorondil-Telcontar -- as fun as Hawkwing is to shoot, I didn't exactly appreciate half of my hits either ricocheting into a nearby patch of some species of Rhus or a hornet's nest or on one target, near a pair of rattlesnakes that were doing things I wish I didn't see. One nice thing though was that the arrows were a whole lot easier to pull out than normal. But yeah, for 3-D, I really prefer a bow that I don't have to arc my shots -- most of my good shots were the ones where I remembered to aim a lot higher than usual and let the arrow "fall" into the target or were close enough where gravity wouldn't quite take its toll!
