Clearing Floors (3)

'Damn,' Kyle tried to say, but ended up saying it within him. His first attempt had gone disastrously wrong, and the arrow he'd loosed had flown wildly off course.

He stared at the targets in the distance and then back at the quiver of arrows.

'This is going to take a while,' he thought.

He reached for another arrow, taking his time to nock it properly. The bow felt awkward in his hands like before, but he drew it back as best as he could, aimed it towards one of the two targets, and released.

>THWIP!<

The arrow veered sharply to the left, missing by an even greater margin than the first. It even landed somewhere in the grass far beyond the field.

'Patience. It's not like I've ever done this before,' Kyle reminded himself.

Arrow after arrow followed, each one missing its mark in different 'creative' ways. Some went too high, others too low, and a few spiraled out of control almost as soon as they left the bowstring.
