Elyse furrowed her brow, the motion itself feeling strange to her. The man had become defiant. Elyse didn't think that Sierra's request was too much to ask. It really was a simple enough request, but the man took some offense to it apparently.
Then Sierra pulled out a bow and some cord. Elyse watched carefully as Sierra nocked an arrow and fired, striking the tin can. Elyse's eyebrows raised admiration. It was a great shot. As Sierra began to pull, Elyse lowered her pack to the ground and fumbled around inside for one of the bags she usually carried. She then moved towards the river and knelt down, pulling slightly at the cord to assist Sierra. The can was dragging against the muck at the bottom of the river, so they had to be careful lest the can get removed from the arrow.
Slowly but surely, the can made it's way, and Elyse picked it up when it was on shore, removing the arrow. She placed the can in her bag and brought the arrow back to Sierra. "That was quite a shot,"
she said placing the can in her pack for disposal later. "Makes me wish I would have brought my crossbow."
Elyse had decided on only the pistol for her hike because of size, but archery practice would have been a lot of fun. It might be something to do in the future.
