So I successfully added PE archery to my schedule today. But man, I felt so stupid in class today... First, I asked my teacher why my bow looked so funny, to which he responded that that's what they tend to look like when they're unstrung. Next, I was having a lot of trouble stringing my bow, then the teacher walks over and tells me that my string is snagged and I've got it propped up wrong. And finally, I was the only one in class whose arm got slapped by the recoil of the string- making me realize that I had my arm guard on wrong. Man, I felt like such a doofus...

The problem probably arises from the fact that I'm having to shoot left-handed (right hand holding the bow and left hand pulling the string). It's cuz I'm "left eye dominant" and that supposedly takes precedence over hand dominance. But man, you never see anyone in the movies shooting left-handed. All the archers always line up turned the same way; I bet if you turned to shoot left-handed, they'd be like, "what the hell you doing, boy?" They'd call you "Lefty" derisively and think you were the gay elf or something, hahaha, I dunno.

Oh, and the teacher bears striking resemblance to my high school band director... it's crazy!
