If you'd like to give archery a go Moody, just let me know.

I'd be happy to get you started.

nex_colubra January 18 2007, 14:28:45 UTC

It's all very straightforward. I assume you've seen pictures of targets and so on?

*frowns*

It doesn't sound like a very effective weapon then. Not if it knocks you about and spoils your aim.

*holds up his hands in surrender*

Only, only if you hit the target behind you after aiming in front of you after having the arrow ricochet off a branch. *grins*

auror_a_moody January 20 2007, 16:13:59 UTC

*nods*
Yeah... Used to have tests every so often as an Auror... Make sure you can hex in the right direction and all that...

*growls*
Well, you learn to compensate for it, beforehand. Then it doesn't spoil your aim.

*grumbles*
Well, then maybe I'll have to miss that target.

nex_colubra January 22 2007, 14:37:12 UTC

It's all very similar. You aim and you shoot. That's really all there is to it. But I don't use magic to help me aim or anything.

*frowns*

Like compensating for the wind? Like that? Oh and you'll need to do that as well.

*grins*

Oh come on! Be a sport!

auror_a_moody January 26 2007, 20:16:21 UTC

*growls*
Well, magic to help you aim would be cheating.

*nods*
*gruff*
Yeah, just like that... That should be pretty easy...

*scowls, looking particularly sour*
*grunts*
We'll see.

So sorry for the ridiculously long delay in replying. *shakes fist at work* I hope all is well with you! *hugs*

nex_colubra January 27 2007, 20:36:12 UTC

Yes it would be. And there's no test of skill if you use an aiming charm.

I should warn you; it's quite a bit harder than it looks.

Who knows? Maybe you're a natural and you'll make me look like a piker at my own game!

That's quite all right! *joins you in fist shaking* Hopefully things will calm down a bit for you. I've been well, thanks. *hugs back*

auror_a_moody January 27 2007, 20:45:26 UTC

Exactly! Cheating!
*scowls, grumbles*
I hate it when people cheat...

*nods*
Oh, I'm sure it does take a good bit of practice.

*smirks*
Who knows?

I do dream of it being calmer! Though I should be around this weekend as hex_files and cleaning my room are my only two weekend goals -- and who really wants to clean...? ;-) Glad you've been well!

nex_colubra January 27 2007, 22:41:03 UTC

Oh so do I! I levy severe penalties for cheating.

*smiles*

I'm going to have a shield charm ready just in case!

I'm quite looking forward to finding out.

UGH! Not me! I hate cleaning my room!

auror_a_moody January 27 2007, 22:52:37 UTC

*raises an eyebrow*
*dryly*
I can only imagine...

*snorts*
*gruffly*
Always better safe than sorry...

*growls, a bit surprised*
Me too.

Me too! Hence, why it's in a particular state of disaster...

nex_colubra January 28 2007, 02:44:15 UTC

*affably*

I'm sure you can. I'd be happy to explain if you'd like though.

Wouldn't want to have an eye out out now. *raises his hand to his mouth* OOPS! I beg your pardon Moody. *sniggers*

When would be a good time for you?

OH BOY!! I hope nothing under the bed grabs you! ;)

auror_a_moody January 28 2007, 03:36:51 UTC

*holds up a hand*
*gruff*
Please don't. Unless you'd like me to have more crimes for me to charge you with...

*glares with his good eye*
*growls*
Has anyone ever told you you're a regular laugh riot?

*shrugs*
Well, I'm getting older... Suppose there's no time like the present, if that'd be alright?

hee! Actually, an avalanche is more of the concern than anything lurking... ;-)

nex_colubra January 28 2007, 21:54:29 UTC

Who said anything about crimes? There are certain penalties laid out for cheating in the Wizarding Archery Society. That's what I was referring to. Really Moody! For shame!

*innocent*

Why NO! How very splendid of you to mention it!

Sure. Um, Hold out your arms. I'll need to know what size bow to have for you.

Uh oh! If you have books stacked up like I do...Look OUT! Wear your hard hat.

auror_a_moody January 29 2007, 01:19:19 UTC

*nods, eyebrow raised*
*drawls*
Oh, really...
*growls*
What are these penalties, then?

*grumbles, jaw clenched*
So glad I could be the first to tell you...

*suspiciously*
Both arms? At the same time?

There *is* a book-pile! But it was the clothing-piles that were more structurally unsound... Though I made a lot of progress on it today!

nex_colubra January 29 2007, 15:10:36 UTC

It mostly deals with points and rankings at tournaments. But if it's bad enough, you can be dismissed from the club.

You just been dying to let me know haven't you?

*supremely exasperated*

For goodness sake Moody! I'm not going to use a tickling charm on you! I need to know what size bow to get for you! *humphs angrily*

Though no one was ever bruised by socks falling on them. :)
Hooray!! Good for you!

auror_a_moody January 31 2007, 04:38:56 UTC

*nods*
I see, I see.

*rolls his eyes*
Oh, of course... Been waiting for just the right occasion to tell you...

*grumbles, under his breath*
A tickling charm was the least of my worries.
*louder*
I just don't like being touched.
*scowls*
Alright?

Quite right!
Thank you, thank you! And it's lasted for 24 hours! Woo-hoo!

nex_colubra January 31 2007, 16:13:36 UTC

It's all written out in the rules. Quite tedious reading. They have two or three wizards just to keep up with it. I can loan you my copy if you'd like. Dull stuff though.

*still grinning*

Not waiting no. But I'm not going to let an opening like that just slip by.

*still exasperated and sarcastic*

Well it's not as if I want to hug you!
Fine! I'll just guess. And if you end up with a bow only a troll can draw it'll be your own fault!

HEY! That's longer than mine ever lasted.
I blame the socks. They won't talk! ;)
