Ready, Aim, Shoot!

I've thought about the hobbies that I should take as an adult. I could take the safe route and do something at home, like playing chess or making crossword puzzle-solving a hobby. Buuut, as someone who's grown so sick of being at home, I've decided to go on another path: an outside hobby!

So, which outside hobby was perfect for me to take? Well, sure enough, basketball is pretty much out of the pool. I'm not particularly good at it and I've noticed that people who take that sport take it too seriously. Even if it's just a casual game, there's a usual hothead who'll get mad and throw a fit. It kind of ruins the game for me, so I want something else.

Luckily, the answer came to me when I was watching this Korean drama thriller series on Netflix, "All of Us Are Dead" was the show. There was this group of archers in the game and that's when it clicked, I'll take up archery!

So I've looked online and found out that there are different types of bows and that learning one or the other isn't exactly easy. I have to focus on one of the three: recurve bow, longbow, or the compound bow. The compound bow looks like the coolest of the three and it looks like an extreme futuristic contraption.

Unfortunately, the archery I was looking at only gave out lessons for the recurve bow, so recurve bow it is.

At this point, I've got the archery range down, all I need to do is secure the funds for it. I can easily do that at the halfway point of May, so I'll be looking at practicing archery from late May onwards. I'll probably take up those classes on the weekends and eventually buy a recurve bow for myself.

It'll be so cool! I want to lug a bow around and arrows! I already have a tracksuit but I should buy a new, white one so it'll look okay. I can probably expect to buy my own bow and arrows around mid-June or something, when I've really taken a few lessons.

For now, at least, those are my plans. I know I can follow through with the plans I set for myself so I'm going to sink all the motivation I can to make this come true. My weekends are usually just me staying inside the house anyway, so I don't really have any obligations or things taking it up. So, yeah, I'll look forward to taking up archery.

Who knows, I might be a really good archer at the end of the year? Good enough to drive an arrow on the people I hate (just kidding).
