"The type of Belomancy we are going to perform today involves actually shooting arrows like Miss Hollingberry mentioned but instead of shooting them to see the distance, we will be shooting at various targets related to our questions." That was the divining part but they would get to that later.
The Divination Professor whispered an incantation under her breath and about thirty bows and the same amount of quivers filled with arrows floated towards them from behing a frozen bush. The objects came to a stop by her feet. "So everyone please come and grab both a bow and a quiver of arrows. I will be showing you all how to properly shoot." Not everyone would know how obviously. She took a step back to allow them to pick up the things. "There are to be NO shots fired until I instruct you to do so, is that clear?" An accidental arrow through somebody wouldn't be the worst thing in the world or terribly hard for the Healer to fixed but that didn't mean it wouldn't be any less traumatic.
"Now when you get your equipment, please space out and be about 4 feet apart from your classmates." She grabbed her stuff while they moved and picked up her bow. "First we need to find the right way to hold the bow. You take the wooden part in one hand, preferably your non-wand hand and take your index and pointer fingers on your other hand to and touch it to your bow string. Stay in this position and I will walk around and correct you as needed."
Belomancy was about arrows...
.... and the Professor said they were going to be
shooting arrows as part of the divination process.
If Vickers knew how to do cartwheels he'd be doing it right now.
Eagerly he reached out for the bows and arrows and positioned himself a good distance from the next people. Indeed it was important that they dont distract each other from anything, specially shooting a sharp projectile like this one.
Vickers
has done archery before, among other things that shoots projectiles but they were few and far between. He has however, done various outdoor activities where he discovered his uncanny ability of hitting targets at a distance. The benefit of being far sighted.
He picked up the bow with his left hand, lifting his arm up and tried to adjust his hand around the grip, finding that comfortable way of holding it upright. With his right hand he hooked his middle and index finger against the bow strings, then straightened his back and positioned his legs for stability.
