What's the Archery equivalent of talking shit?

Hi,

As the title says.

Beginner archer here, I'm attending my first archery class in a month or so, and have been watching instructional videos, hunting videos, and regional competitions...to which I quickly devolved into rewatching katniss everdeen and princess Merida. Kicking my legs like the little girl I am. But that leads me to wonder... I've been thinking what an experienced or even inexperienced Archer could do -not even saying anything - that would be the equivalent of talking shit. Mad shit.Crazy shit. Shit you'd never say All I can think of that I can use as an example would be Deadshot in suicide squad hitting the same target no pause in movements. Or you know which scene katness is catching virtual bodies in the training room. Or princess Merida from brave shooting for her own hand. Only the assured confidence of a badass who's been doing this for years.

One time at the range I was so busy fussing over my sights I didn't realize I aimed at the target next to the one I was shooting. When I went to grab my arrows I thought I lost one somehow then I look over and see my arrow dead center in the other target. I was thinking that would have been mad disrespectful if someone else was shooting there lol

I have done this in competition warmup, shot an arrow right on the spider of the target right of mine. To this day the best and certainly most memorable shot I have done.

Lol I hit three golds one target over. 11 misses out of 30. No clue what happened but had a load of fun.

I usually end up forgetting when I switch top to bottom during competition and get some sweet scores that turn into 0s lol.

It’s happened like 5 times now I really need to stop
