Oh my! Hope it goes away soon. I used to get something similar on my inner wrists after playing volleyball.

Archery is expensive. I looked into it for the kids a few years back, & I couldn’t believe how expensive it was.

Glad you all got to experience it. :) Doing it once is great, but as classes, it adds up. @Teggy
@marsbar 😬 it does I looked it up and it's gonna be more of a 'Once in a awhile' thing lol
marsbar · F
Lol. I’d like to try it with the kids once if they’re interested in it. @Teggy

Guns freak me out, but I went to a shooting range for the first time in 2014 during a Texas Trip, & it was great being able to hit the targets!

@Teggy

OUCH !! I'm surprised that whoever took you to the archery range didn't equip you with gloves and an armguard.

I haven't done much archery but when I did it was fun. In my high school years, at one summer camp, we had the opportunity to experience archery on horseback using a curved composite bow similar to ones used before the age of firearms. I wasn't great at it since it took superb intuitive skills at drawing, aiming, and firing..... but I had a whale of good time.

I did when I was in Tunisia and my arm looked the same as yours.. LOL, I'm so glad it's not just me.. LOL 🤭
@SW-User lots of hostility ?????

@Teggyno, just awful food, awful drink.. the hotel wasn't that nice.. the people were different for sure... then there was also terrible weather to add to it.. we didn't enjoy any of it
@SW-User damn that's a shitty vacation! 😞

Ouch, Tegs!

I don't but I know some who do. A couple brothers are really into it.
@Magenta it's definitely fun! Spent a few hours at the range, I totally get the appeal!

@Teggy Always fun to have hobbies and things we enjoy. 😊

Yes. Since my early teens. Learned the hard way to grip the bow correctly.
@sunrisehawk maybe next time I go I'll remember what I learned 😅
JerseyGal · 56-60, F
Ouch! I do not do archery. Lol, if that happened to me, I'd be bruised for weeks! 😮
@JerseyGal 🤗🤗 just use the guard and you'll be shooting like a champ in no time!
JerseyGal · 56-60, F
@Teggy I'll have to remember that! 🤗🤗
SW-User
That’s why you wear the arm guards lol. I learned the hard way once too.
@SW-User proper lesson learned.

You still do some archery?
SW-User
Haven’t done it in a long time. But wouldn’t mind taking it up again and get myself s compound bow. @Teggy

Turn your arm Teggy
KYLakeDiver · 51-55, M
@Teggy Ya, definately compound.
KYLakeDiver · 51-55, M
@Teggy Search "PSE Bowfishing" on Amazon and don't settle for anything that is not compound.
@KYLakeDiver 😂🤣😂 catfishing 😂🤣😂😂

Reminds me of the Christmas when Dad got me a recurve bow. I think I was 14. We'd shoot in the backyard at a homemade target. At times the neighbor's house, at the bottom of a hill beyond our backyard, got hit. Fortunately it was brick with few windows. Our (mostly Dad's) arrows just shattered on impact.

I had to get one of those arm guards too.
I pee in the toilet. Is that archery? 🤔
@BeefySenpie bulls-eye! Lol
