((Bro is away on vacation and instead of trying to type in his crazy long password, I'm just going to post for him))
Draakair smiled. "That would be lovely. As soon as I know what you can do, I can know what I need to teach you."

He yawned, and paced about.

Shinju nodded her head and stood up. She walked over to the front of a target. She drew her bow with the arrow in place and let the arrow fly. It landed on the target but only at the edge. "How was that Draakair-sama?"

He watched the arrow fly into the target. "I dunno what Draakair has to say, but I DEFINETELY have something to say. Maybe you should aim instead of just pointing and firing." He said.

Draakair stood up. "Mazarith-kun, aren't you one that berates others for speaking so untactful?" Draakair retrieved the arrow from the target. "You have nice power behind the arrow, but he is right, until you can shoot blindfolded, you should take a bit more time to aim." He said handing her the arrow. "Also, I suggest you use the dojo's arrows just so you don't have to worry about wearing our your own." He said indicating the quiver against the wall.

Shinju smiled a bit sheepishly and mumbled, "Actually I was aiming. I'm just not exactly sure on how to aim correctly." Shinju then took her arrow and placed it back into her quiver. The quiver then vanished back into the folds of her dress. Shinju picked up the dojo's quiver and stood infront of the target again. "Um... so how exactly do you aim a bow correctly?" Shinju mumbled with a bright blush.

((Not as knowledgeable about archery whatnots so bear with me.))
"All right." Draakair said. "Use your dominant eye and look down the shaft of the arrow."

"That also depends on the bow you use. A normal bow or short bow are held straight. A longbow is held tilted. Then just follow the instructions Draakair gave you."

Shinju nodded her head and notched her arrow. She closed her right eye and looked down the arrow's shaft with her left eye. Once the arrow was aligned with the center of the target she released it with a very slight jerk. The arrow sliced through the air and hit the target a few inches from the center. Shinju smiled brightly and said, "I'll need a bit more practice but I think I can manage to aim correctly. Is there any other skills I should know about? What else should I learn?"

"Until you've got that down, don't worry about other stuff."

Shinju smiled at Mazarith-sama. "All right then I'll practice aiming for a while." Shinju said. She quickly notched a new arrow and aimed again. She released the arrow again with a slight jerk. It struck the target a few milimeters closer then the last one, though it appeared to have landed a hairs breath higher on the target. Shinju frowned and fetched the two arrows out of the target.

"Now, when your shooting, when you aim at the center and the arrow goes to the right, thats when you know that you should adjust a bit. The same goes for almost ranged weapon."

Shinju nodded her head and rose her bow again. "All right. I'll try that." Shinju said. Shinju held her bow a little lower and aimed a little to the right of the center. Shinju notched her arrow and quickly released the arrow with a jerk. The arrow flew quickly and landed on the target. Though it was still a little off the center of the target it was much better shot.

He smiled. "Good job. Keep at it. Practice makes perfect. When you get that down, I can teach you how to direct and arrow in midair." He took out an arrow from the dojo quiver and notched it in his bow and released it, halfway down the lane, it changed direction and turned back toward them where Draakair caught it.
