Before any equipment is touched, Mrs. Porter gathers the class around. "Before we aim for the stars, we have to talk about Faux Bow Safety Basics," she explains. She lists the golden rules:
1. Never point the bow or arrow at a person; always check downrange to ensure the path is clear. 2. Never "dry fire" by pulling the string without an arrow 3. Only nock your arrow when it is officially safe to shoot. Sora listens intently, realizing that being a great archer starts with being a safe one.

"Let's begin! Step 01: Hold the bow," Mrs. Porter instructs. She shows the class how to hold the bow out flat with the “U” shape facing the sky. "Reach over the string with your non-dominant hand and grip the riser," she demonstrates. Malachi picks up a blue bow and mimics the movement, feeling the grip of the riser in his palm while Javier watches closely to learn the technique.

"Now for Step 02: The Stance," Mrs. Porter calls out. She moves through the rows of students to check their form. "Stand with your non-dominant foot in front, making a line parallel to your target. Keep those feet shoulder-width apart for a sturdy base!" Sora finds her spot on the floor, lining her feet up perfectly. Javier adjusts his own stance nearby, feeling like a true athlete as he stabilizes his weight.

"Step 03 is all about preparation," Mrs. Porter says, stepping over to help. "Nock the arrow! Lay the bow horizontal again, 'U' up. Grab your arrow by the nock and click it into the riser using your index finger." Malachi carefully follows the instructions, feeling a satisfying click as the arrow meets the bow. Mrs. Porter gives him an encouraging thumbs-up, her stylish glasses sliding slightly down her nose.

"Step 04: Draw the string, part one," Mrs. Porter continues. "Rotate the nock until the index feather—that’s the odd-colored one—faces up! Then click it into the string below the crimp." She shows Sora how to place three fingertips directly underneath the arrow on the string in the "Olympic style." Sora concentrates hard, her fingers finding their place on the string just as she was taught.

"Now, Step 05: Draw the string, part two!" Mrs. Porter's voice echoes through the gym. "Hold the bow vertically. Remember: dribbles, not handshakes! Keep your bow hand relaxed and rotated outward. Draw that string back to a consistent anchor point, like the corner of your mouth or your cheek." Javier draws the string back smoothly, anchoring his hand right at his jawline, just as Malachi watches the form.

Sora takes a deep breath, relaxes her hand, and the string snaps forward. The faux arrow sails through the air, heading straight for the target downrange. Javier watches the flight of the arrow, impressed by the smooth release.
"And finally, Step 06: The Release!" Mrs. Porter announces. "Don't force it. Just relax your fingers and let the string pull itself loose from your grip."

The shooting range is filled with the sounds of clicking arrows and the "thwack" of them hitting the targets. Malachi and Javier take turns, encouraging each other after every shot. "You're building muscle memory!" Mrs. Porter cheers as she walks by. "Each shot makes you stronger and more consistent. Keep that Beaumont spirit high!" She high-fives Malachi, celebrating his progress.
