Divisive anti-Neptunian rhetoric has no place on this forum, Iduno.

So I finally got an offer for an apartment.

The reason I got it is that it's brand new and comes with a ludicrously expensive rent.

I kinda became the repo man for the company I work now. More like the corporation. All these years have not only made me hard as a nail but also it seems allowed me to develop the skills and contacts to "move around", even when there's no gas in the whole country, this goes so far as to project my presence two cities over without needing to go there.

All this because the actuall office isn't open yet for obvious reasons so I offered to do anyjob they could have for me and I happened by chance to have the rigth contacts and apttitudes.... so far have collected a non small amount of money for other bussines of the corporation.

I've just seen a beginner blind lady shoot a bow with better accuracy that I've ever been able to achieve. I think I might just give up on this archery stuff before it kills my self-esteem forever.

You’re certainly not going to get better if you give up :p

Clearly her other senses have been sharpened to supernatural heights

[Yoink]

She cheated and had someone rub cologne on the target beforehand.   

[LordBaal]

The answer is obvoius, you need yo cover your eyes before shooting your weapon, is not like anything could go wrong from there.

[Mathel]

Preferably with your hands. 

But seriously, was she really blind, or just have very bad sight?
If she was really blind, the only was I can imagine she could aim at the target is, if the target was making some kind of noise.

Target archery is much more dependent on muscle memory and steady hands than eyesight. As long as one has a general direction, always landing the arrow in the same place is not too difficult for an experienced shooter. For a beginner, it was most likely just luck.

Nah, she's a crime figther lawyer that figths for justice at day and enforce it by nigth.

[TamerVirus]

Wasn't one of the world's best archers legally blind? Won medals at the Olympics?

[LordBaal]

Wouldn't a legally blind person participate in the paralympics games?

[pisskop]

Yes, but I doubt the special olympics would be so . . . crass as to make blind archery a thing.  It may be impressive, but not really fitting the theme.
