Local Man Seems Just A Little Too Into Archery

INDIANAPOLIS – Sitting down with his family to watch the opening rounds of the Olympic Games Friday, Indianapolis resident Damien Fenhurst was just a little too into archery, say sources.

Displaying an inordinate degree of interest in the skill and craftsmanship of the competitors on show, the 39-year-old was seen staring intently at the television screen, intermittently uttering phrases like “just look at how he nocks that arrow”, ” those are the “best compound bows ” and “I really want to learn how to aim like that.”

According to his wife Lucy and two children Brian and Michelle, a glazed over Mr Fenhurst watched in awe, as South Korean archer Im dong-Hyun smashed the world record in Men’s Archery, insisting “wow, he really nailed that bad boy.”

  1. I have seen this happen.

    My favourite moments are when they don’t know the words for the moves and make one up. Class.

  2. Oh man, I’ve been THAT guy before… what? What’s so crazy that I found something new that I love that is more important than anything else in my life? What?
