Not so many men made it back alive. Lesser with a limb or two that was torn off in the struggle. With dainty fingertips, the hunter took the bow's string into her finger's hold, confirming before pulling it back slowly and keeping her aim steady on the selected prey. Her pointer and middle finger are set precisely in the right position, hooking the string. Addie's cheek lightly pressed against the bow's sight window. The metal felt cool against her cheek.
