Time Stamp: 27th of Spring, 515AV
Location: Top Notch
Who: Turrin
Walking into the Top Notch, Turrin was considered a new up and coming archer in the Wind Reach. The half breed already was considered a expert by his peers, but he wanted earn the status of master, so he needed to work on speed and mobility while he was shooting. This the endal needed to think outside the box, so the myrian sat and watched one of the elders practice her shooting. Turrin sat on a vantage point in the archery range where he could watch everyone shoot. The myrian made sure that he paid attention to the elders because they had years of experience to fall back on to help their skill. The myrian doubt that they would be willing to teach a young man like him without a price, so he would just observe and see if he could mimik their technique.
Turrin eyes went to elderly woman with long white hair. The myrian had to admit the old lady was quite good shape for a elder, and he figured the woman was fairly attractive back in her prime. When she got to the firing line, the woman had her quiver on her belt. The myrian leaned forward on his perch, noticed she pulled out two arrows from quiver, and held them both in her firing hand. Turrin rubbed his chin as he wished that he was closer, so he could get a better look at her firing hand holding the arrows. However, he did noticed that she was firing on the right side of the bow instead of the left. The endal smirked and thought to himself, Interesting way of positioning the arrow, Elder...
Turrin stuck out his hand, looked how he could possibly hold two arrowing in it at once and fire at the same time. The myrian knew from past experience that normally fired with the pointer and middle, but it finger left the ring finger and pinky empty. The myrian was still watching the woman, but she was talking to another elder, so he had time if he to think the through holding an two arrows at once. If he held the second arrow by the feather end in the ring and pinky finger. The endal could in theory fire one arrow after another without reaching into his quiver. It could save him precious ticks that could save his life in the Unforgiving.
Once the elder woman was finished talking to the older man, Turrin saw her approach the firing line, got into position, and lifted her short bow to shot. The myrian was amazed at the show because the woman aimed bow her gold feather arrows at a straw deer target, pulled back her bow string, and fired at the deer; however, he could tell that she was master because as soon as she fired her first arrow, it must have been a matter of ticks before the another arrow was in her hand and firing at the same target. Turrin looked over at the deer and saw the first arrow hit the deer in the head, but her second arrow split the first arrow down the center. The myrian thought to himself and shook his head, Wow....I wouldn't want to be that deer.
Turrin decided it was time for him to stop lurking about range and shoot. Turrin hopped off his perch and walked to a firing line in the middle of the archery range. Most of the stalls were wide enough to move around, so he could shoot at multiple targets at the same time. The endal didn't bother to bring his own arrows because they were already provided for the endal shooters. The hunter took the practice quiver from shelf and secured it to his back. Turrin wanted to see the difference in quiver placement, so he would try the back method than the hip method.
Pulling arrow from his quiver, Turrin want to try out how fast that he could shoot two arrows with the back method of quiver placement. Getting into position, the endal locked his eyes on a neck right below the deers head. Taking a shallow breath, he pulled arrow from the quiver, placed it on the bowstring, rested on the left side of the bow, pulled back the arrow, and fired. On Turrin's second shot his eyes never left the target as he immediately pulled another arrow from the quiver behind him, placed it on the bowstring, pulled back the arrow and fired again.
When Turrin stopped firing, he noticed his first shot hit the target dead on the mark, but also the second arrow hit the neck, but it off the target by about four or five inches. They were both killing shots since the first arrow impaled the neck by the jugular and the second hit by the spine. The second was air at the jugular, but he thought that his aiming was off since he had to grab another arrow. The endal decided to try the next hip method of placing the quiver. He was unsure how it would work, but if the elder woman used it with no problem, he was certain that it was fairly useful method of arrow placement. Turrin decided to go for a little farther target and fire are the wolf target ten feet behind the deer.
