Many armies boast units of soldiers who use a bow as their primary weapon, but most do not possess the discipline to gain the kind of experience the Peerless Archer has.

For him, the perfect moment in life occurs when the arrow is loosed and everything depends upon the accuracy of his eye, the steadiness of his hand and his understanding of his chosen weapon. For the most skilled archers, life is lived to its fullest in that moment. Perfection is a bullseye, and everything else is irrelevant.

Many armies boast units of soldiers who use a bow as their primary weapon, but most do not possess the discipline to gain the kind of experience the Peerless Archer has. The Peerless Archer devotes his life to perfecting his skill with the bow. All other concerns are secondary. For him, the perfect moment in life occurs when the arrow is loosed and everything depends upon the accuracy of his eye, the steadiness of his hand and his understanding of his chosen weapon. For the most skilled archers, life is lived to its fullest in that moment. Perfection is a bullseye, and everything else is irrelevant.
