At what was popularly called "nerd fitness camp," a nearly impossible archery feat resulted from an incredible moment of accuracy and luck mixed together. Learning the fundamentals of bow and arrow, the participant accomplished something even experienced archers would find difficult to replicate: striking a balloon with such exact accuracy that the arrow pierced its very edge without causing it to pop. This amazing success is evidence of the shooter's innate ability as well as maybe some beginner's luck.
The instructor's surprise at this unheard-of view lends credibility to the extraordinary nature of this occasion. In the realm of archery, where success is expressed in millimetres, this shot strikes the ideal mix of force and accuracy. The fact that this happened at a "nerd fitness camp" gives the narrative even more appeal since it implies that occasionally the most amazing athletic performance can take place in the most unlikely locations. The picture captures what would otherwise seem like an overdone story, therefore proving this amazing event. It reminds us that often the most amazing successes occur while we are still learning something new.
