With a summer job, I hadn't had a chance to go deer stalking this year. I finally went with Gale yesterday and we got two Muntjac. I would have bagged a red deer if they weren't out of season. We got a few game birds as well.

I wonder if there is going to be an archery club this year. I got a new broom for Quidditch tryouts too.

You and Merida should start one.

[cantstarvethisfire]

That's a good idea. It's better than some of the clubs you can see.

[gloriousandfree]

Oh you're trying out too? I'm going for Beater myself.

[cantstarvethisfire]

Yeah, my sister talked me in to it. She said I should have joined the previous years too. I'm giving seeker a shot.

[gloriousandfree]

Well I wish you the best of luck Katniss. You'd be a great seeker I'm sure.

[brothor]

Oho! Archery would be fun!

[cantstarvethisfire]

It is, it takes a lot of concentration but it pays off.

[brothor]

I would like to practise on my concentration schools. I've. Had some issues with them.

[nobodyscrumpet]

Which birds did you get? And do you still have any of them?

[cantstarvethisfire]

We got Red Grouse, we haven't had Black Grouse in the area in years. I got a few still.

[nobodyscrumpet]

Oh! You wouldn't happen to sell them at all would you? I haven't have Grouse in so long.

[di_intraining]

You went hunting with arrows? I didn't know people still do that.

How did the festival go?

[cantstarvethisfire]

It's not exactly legal anymore. I prefer it to hunting with rifles though.

It went well. I got to demonstrate for a group of kids.

[di_intraining]

I didn't know that; how's it make sense that hunting with rifles is legal but arrows isn't? They're both as dangerous.

That sounds like fun. Any of them potential Robin Hoods in the making?

[cantstarvethisfire]

People think it's inhumane if they get away and the shot doesn't kill.

One or two, no one accidentally fired at a crowd of people this year.

[di_intraining]

I guess...but animals can get shot with rifles too and survive, right? I think that might be even worse.

That's good. Don't think it'd do the festival any favours if you get law suits coming up for knocking someone's hat off.

[cantstarvethisfire]

I agree on that, no one should suffer like that.

No, it's very frowned up. Especially when you shoot apples that people are reaching to eat.

[di_intraining]

I guess what they should do is make sure anyone who wants to go hunting passes an exam of some sort, just to make sure they finish the job quickly.

That ever happened before? Sounds like a case of William Tell right there.

[cantstarvethisfire]

No one who doesn't aim for a kill spot should be allowed to hunt.

Some kid said I couldn't do it, so I proved them wrong. I got in trouble to say the least.

[di_intraining]

I agree with you on that.

That must've been a sight to see. You really are good at archery, aren't you?
