Went to an archery themed birthday party with my 7 year old. It was at an indoor range and they taught the youth 6-10 years to use the gear and they all shot a few 3 arrow rounds from about 40 feet. They put a balloon up in the bull and 2 of the kids hit the bull out of their 4 rounds. My kid was one (!)

and a very uh, unathletic (?) girl hit it twice! After the kids shot they opened it up to any parent that wanted to try. Of course I could not turn it down so I picked one up and let 3 go. These were the first 2

No joke, I hit my first with the second! The lady coach was dumbfounded and asked if I ever shot before. I told her nope first time I ever tried this. 3rd shot was high right and the 3 subsequent shots were all high right but within 4 inches of each other. She said I should pick it up as a hobby. I'm currently looking for a jr. recurve bow for the boy and maybe I'll pick one up myself.
