Amazon Women Warriors

[lizzardbits]

I now understand why in Greek mythology, it was thought that Amazon Women Warriors lopped off, seared off (http://www.mnsu.edu/emuseum/prehistory/aegean/amazons/amazonmyths.html), or rid themselves of a breast for shooting their bow and arrows. My friends that live in the Missouri Ozarks use compound bows to deer and game hunt. I was able to shoot many arrows over several days time and each day, i hit my left breast at least 3 times. (yes yes, i was trying to keep it away from my body, but it seemed that everytime i smacked myself, i got a bullseye)

so i am proud of my very colorful bruise, and outshooting a dude that has been shooting for over 20 years. And his fiance, my best friend, hit a bullseye the 3rd time she ever shot the bow and arrow. We are so proud of ourselves and our chant this last week was "We are Women! Hear us ROAR!"

i just thought i would share my story :D

[sodaklostsoul]

Yikes that looks painfull!!!

[mayhem1978]

awwwwwwwwww sweetie bring that over here and let me kiss it better

[PantyFanatic]

:yikes: :faint:


Of all the thoughts I have about doing something with your breasts, …… THAT has never been part of the visions. Buy a gun. ;)

[lizzardbits]

but i don't want a gun, LOL, i like the work out that drawing back that heavy bowstring and knowing that I can shoot that thing and accurately as well.

My friend that deer hunts is now trying to convince me to go deer hunting with him, nah, I'd rather shoot at targets.

[Lilith]

Excellent! I've always wanted to try it...on targets.

[wyndhy]

sweet! congrats on mastering the bow and arrow
and...


OUCH! :x:'s and ice packs

I think the Greeks made up that about removing a breast to make the other Greek guys think the Amazons lacked 'womanhood', make them unappealing in other words. The myth is kinda like a modern day hoax. ;)

For any woman interested in archery you need to get a 'chest guard'. Saves having alot of pain and will allow you more time on the range.
This is a good one... http://www.alternativess.com/cgi-bin/htmlos.cgi/00575.7.1241853649364974238
(Its a busy site and is sometimes not availible, if you don't get through at first, keep trying.) :)

In old days a tight leather vest was worn. The Japanese had a special lacquered wood chest plate.

I was told all this by Master who is a traditional long bow archer Himself and teaches it to any who wish to learn. (He also added: 'It hurts when I pop my arm, but OMG her breast... ouch.')

Congrats Lizz!! Proud of ya girl! :) :D

Seeing a bruised boobie like that brings a tear to my eye! Please be careful with such a delicate and sexy thing.







When you're not in bed. :D

OOUCh, Shooting bow is more of a challenge isn't it. I got some protien that might help that heal faster! :D

[lizzardbits]

thank you Teddy Bear! I bookmarked that page. i have to say that while i was shooting i was thinking about making a duct tape bra and pulling myself out of the way with that (tape OVER clothing of course) I will look into ordering one before i shoot again and after i get back from the UK.



LOL Red Green would be proud of my duct tape bra idea

Large breasts were not meant to go with fighting. Fortunately for me and my taekwondo pursuits, my breasts are rather small :wiggles:

[Kaelynn]

So apparently I am blessed with small boobs, or at least not ones that want to reach out and grab things... I have shot an arrow before, rather accurately... but never hit myself... and after seeing yours... thank god I didn't... I hope it heals quickly

[AngelicVampires]

Awww, bad bow....bad. Hope your war wound gets better soon.

[Shadow_Kitty]

Guns are for wimps - I haven't done any target shooting in years, but have had the chance to attempt archery and there's really nothing like it. Next time though, I would suggest binding your breasts a bit tighter - it might be uncomfortable but I'm sure it's more comfortable than that bruise! :p

Hope you feel better soon, lizzie. :)

[Aqua]

Ouch!... but nicely done on your shooting!

[east]

damn that looks painful. i've had it slap my forearm a couple times that hurts enough. i'm terible at shooting though, i have no depth perception so i can't judge range.

[lizzardbits]

as of right now, the darkest part of the bruise is a light pink purple. I think that when i have the extra $$, i may invest in my own bow and arrows and a lot of duct tape! *L*

[campingboy]

It sounds like you had fun. I think the right equipment would be a good investment.

[Fangtasia]

Ouch that looked sore
