    My arms shook.The bow was almost as tall as I was，and it was equipped with a narrow，ready to be shot. Never had a more ill-suited person handled a weapon. But my editor had sent me on a mission：to find my inner Katniss Everdeen at one of Being's indoor archery clubs.
    The brilliant archer Everdeen is the lead character in The Hunger Games movies，the final of which was just released in cinemas. Her arrows can hit almost anything：sword-swinging enemies， fierce animals， even aircraft some-how，Me? I can’t throw a paper ball into a trashcan with any precision. And I was warned that archery would require a great deal of upper body strength，though I hadn’t seen the inside of a gym in years.
    News outlets like The New York Times and NPR have reported an increase of interest in archery，thanks to movies like The Hunger Games，Brave and The Avengers. Archery clubs have showed up in many major cities. In Jian Club，an archery-themed bar，we paid 120 yuan for an hour's worth of target practice and prepared our bows and arrows.
    We were told to stand sideways，with one shoulder facing the bull’s eye.Your weaker arm would hold the bow，while the other would pull the bowstring back until the arrow was right next to your face. Then it was meters away.Well，sort of.Instead of sending the arrows whistling through the air，my first few simply dropped on to the ground.
    The failure was a good reminder that archery is a demanding，Olympic-level sport. It worked muscles in my back and arms that I just didn't have yet. An hour came and went，and I found myself leaving with a couple pie reed(刺穿的) bull's eyes and sore shoulders. Was I ready to shoot down aircraft with a swift arrow?Not quite. But I was definitely ready for a return trip.
