Today I took an archery lesson

[resolute]

I went with one of my adult-kids. The class was three hours long. We both had a fantastic time!

At the end of class I purchased a very basic intro-level recurve bow and the bare essentials for practicing. There is an outdoor range near my house, within mobility-scootering range. I intend to go practice some archery.

It's a physical activity that I don't need to be able to STAND to do!

Oh, that's very cool. I took archery in college, and while I never got very good (no depth perception), I loved all the historic and romantic resonances, and it was nice to feel competent about stringing and unstringing the bow, and letting the arrow fly without smacking oneself in the face.

I absolutely LOVE weightlifting, and I deeply miss being able to do it. But the combination of strength and precision in archery appeals to me. Also, one can learn to do it seated!
