Virtual Archery?

Hafiz sent me a pretty cool link last night and I’ve been playing it since.  The link seemed kinda dubious at first, so I had to confirm that he was really trying to send me a cool link, and not some msn virus thingy.

At first, I thought it was some kinda casino jackpot flash game, and wanted to close the browser window.  But lo and behold!  A target board flashed across the screen!  Now THAT got my attention. 

I probably never mentioned this in my blog before, but Archery is one of my hobbies.  Actually, I just love shooting sports.  I don’t know how to explain the feeling of “satisfaction” when the arrow finds itself on the yellow, or even the “X”. 

In any case, for those who don’t know what archery is like, here is the link.

Kinda dubious right?  But hey, Trust Me. =D

The game is pretty realistics.  The way the sight bobs around, and how trying to control it a lot doesn’t really help.  The same thing happens when I shoot in real life.  The damn sight pin is ALWAYS yellow shy. 

Of course, the flash version of archery, doesn’t allow you to experience the “joys” of muscle aches, fatigue from holding the shot at full draw, and breath control.  But, just for the fun of it, why not?
