With thanks to NiRi and Cairistiona for advice on archery, a subject about which I know nothing.

The arrows flew thick and fast towards the target. Both men struggled to gain advantage, the arrows of both landing but a fraction from the bull's eye. King and Steward scowled at their bows.

“You should declare a draw,” Arwen suggested when she came to see how the men folk were faring.

“Another few shots should settle it,” said Faramir.

“ I am loth to yield.” Aragorn grimly nocked another arrow.

“Foolish men!” Arwen took up her bow and loosed an arrow. It landed in the centre of the target between those of Aragorn and Faramir. The contest was decided.

Perfect! Silly men, let the Queen show you how it's done. Lol, really liked this one.

Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed this. I've found men very competitive even at scrabble!

[alphien.livejournal.com]

Oh, definitely. Scrabble's a dangerous game!

This turned out very nicely! Leave it to Arwen to hurry the men along by ending the contest herself!

[lindahoyland.livejournal.com]

Thank you and for your help.I fear they might still b shooting arrows if Arwen hadn't arrived on the scene!

Go Arwen! Of course, she has had centuries more practice than the boys have :)

[lindahoyland.livejournal.com]

Good for Arwen! she was practising before their great grandads were born!

[nierielraina.livejournal.com]

OH, I like this much better! Nicely done! :)

Thank you. I guess they would be there still had Arwen not turned up!
