On target!

My first year of college, I had a limited choice on phys ed, but had to have 4 hours for any major. I that first semester I took tennis. I learned that I have no depth perception. I could serve, but not return. So, the next semester I took archery and badminton. The same problems I had with tennis held true for badminton, but I was good at archery. How good was I? (I hear you ask.) The teacher said that we couldn't string a bow that we couldn't "pull." I could. We then marched out to the targets and she had us shot off some odd number of arrows. I hit a bulls eye. I was the only one to hit a bulls eye and I hit the target with every arrow, including putting one through the target. The guy next to me, who's bow I had strung to prove I could string a bow I couldn't pull, said I was a "ringer." Oh, by saying I couldn't "pull" a bow, that means to pull it to your ear and hold it steady. I guess all those archery lessons at Girl Scout Camp were good for something - huh?
