To: cycle of discernment

I’ve thought about getting out of here and joining the Masai myself. I’m good enough with archery equipment that I’m fairly certain they’d overlook me being the wrong color...

You have?
My I ask if you've ever been to Africa before?

I am sure your archery skill would be much appreciated by tribe. :)

The Masai do not use the bow, and don't practice archery. They use the spear, both hand-held, and thrown, and a hardwood throwing club for smaller game.

I had the opportunity to visit a Masai encampment in the Rift Valley of Kenya in 1980, where I saw them practice their hunting/warrior skills with their chosen arms. Quite impressive...
