Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

His analysis of Brave shows just how much attention Pixar pays to details.
One of the cool things about this clip (aside from just the fact that Pixar has come up with a girl who kicks serious heinie) is that all of the guys who are doing it wrong are doing it wrong the right way; that is, they are making the actual mistakes that beginners and self-taught archers make. I see every one of these things on the range every single week.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Love it. I know damned little about archery, but the attention to detail reminds me of Ratatouille and how cooks were pointing out that everyone in the kitchen had scars and burns on their hands.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Oh man, now I kind of want to take archery. Those were awesome posts.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I took archery in high school PE. It was fun.
Then in college my asshole roommate (who was one of the best archers in WI) threatened me with his bow and arrow.
Maybe these three movies will remove that bad association with archery....

I got to go to camp one time as a kid. It was computer camp, no surprise. But we did do archery as an elective that week. It was much fun. I don't remember jack shit, except the boys weren't as good as they assumed they were going to be.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
So, I would love to learn archery too, but i have an astigmatism that is not 100% corrected, so I always felt like I am poster girl for ARCHERY FAIL.

I haven't shot an arrow in years, but when I took the course in college I was consistently the third best archer behind the guy who bow-hunted for recreation and my shooting partner (who eventually became an optometrist).

I rocked both my quarters of archery class (and yet? still know fuckall, as stated above) but I mostly remember it for being the gym choice with the notorious stoner teacher and no nasty intra-girl politics (because there were no other girls).
