Walking back down to the armoury, they quickly located the ranged section. Tyra took a quiverful of arrows, and waited for Malar to choose a bow; both he and Aeris both chose ash longbows. After they'd both taken quivers too, the three of them left the armoury, and wandered outside - after about half an hour's walk, they reached the archery range. Standing at forty paces, Malar asked if this was the first time she'd used a bow. She shook her head. Thirty paces would be better for a beginer - or even twenty. So, they started at twenty-five. They strung their bows, the two drow with pracitsed ease; it took Tyra a couple of tries, but she soon got the hang of it - her bow was 5'6, slightly higher then she was; and they all put on their wrist and arm guards. Malar corrected their stance first of all, and Tyra losened an arrow... it struck the target. Five more followed in rapid succession. They all hit the target, but not its centre.
*edit *makes a face and rolls eyes* I knew I'd left something out - archers arm and wrist guards...
