One of the Olympic events “I’d like to see” is the traditional combat use of an English Longbow – A one minute timed trial with a 1m rope circle @ 100m, the winner is whoever gets the most arrows in the circle within the time limit.
Have you seen what they are using for target pistols, this year? They look to me like a semi-automatic pistol with the bottom half of the magazine cut off. Like a Colt 1911 .45 with a magazine holding only two or three rounds.

LOL! I’m not up to Katniss’s skills, but I can hit a broad, moving target at 50 feet. (Not much, I know. But then I’m not an Olympian) :)

Wonder how well modern archers would do if they were allowed only a REAL bow — i.e., a long bow — without all thehi-tech garbage….

Okay, I do know about Google, so I was able to find what he’s talking about, more or less. Wouldn’t have thought it was a particularly obvious joke.

“I volunteer as tribute!!!!!” I’m going to nitpick and say that Katniss’ hand has no arm attached.

Why is Katniss’ arrow burning? I don’t remember her arrows being on fire, although she herself was once or twice.
