What Na'vi Indigenous Skills are you Learning - other than Languange

[Zrina Ni'awve]

I tryed something of Na'vi things and I find I can do only two things good: archery and flying. I thing I'm not bad in humans archery style, but when I try Na'vi style, all my arrows flys left
And flying? It have one big problem - ikran. So I've ikran replaced by an airplane. It's not same, but beautiful too

Do you compete in Archery while on Horseback? I have seen Hungarians do that, and it is something to watch, do the Czech's do it too?

I haven't seen anyone to do this. And I'm not good horse rider (some times I ride, but if I want go faster I've to fall like Jake ), so I would not try it now.
Do any one here doing this? (without Dakar?)

Rewon lefpom ma Zrina Ni'awve !
Kehe, ma Tsmuk, I have never seen anyone here in this Country compete with archery from a running Horse.
How we DO compete on Horseback, is in "Cowboy Action" Shooting events. Ateyo and I both compete in Cowboy action, where everyone dresses up in 1880's clothing, and shoots new (for safety), Rifles, Pistols, and Shotguns.
One of the events, is a "Mounted" (on a horse running at full speed), event. In all our other events, we have old style solid lead, rather than modern jacketed bullets, with people standing behind us, as we compete. We are scored by by shooting for speed and accuracy against steel targets, you can hear the bullets hit the steel.
In the mounted event, we are weaving around barrels as fats as the horse can go, (this event is scored both by speed and accuracy), and there are people all around, so we CAN'T use bullets, we use "blanks" that have a hard piece of cardboard packed tightly over the powder, which DOES get shot out of the barrel, and travels for about 70 feet. The targets are balloons that are tied to stands, that if you shoot at from 20 to 30 feet away, the cardboard will "pop" the balloon, yet all the spectators are safe. It is a LOT of fun, both to compete in, and to watch. ALL of us who compete, love to watch each other compete as well.
HERE is the website of the Mounted Cowboy Shooting Association. If you let it load all the way up, there will be a section towards the center top of the page, where you can select, and watch some of the competitions, including the Men's and Women's World Record runs. ENJOY!!
