Dart match. Note the player on the right avoiding the incoming blue feathered dart to the right of the target. Apparently it's not unusual for players, who taunt the opposition while posing next to the target, to need medical treatment after failing to dodge in time.

Celebrating a direct hit, hopefully on a target, not the stray cow who insisted on grazing on the field. The cow had lots of room as the archer takes aim from over 100 meters away. It was hard for my untrained eye to follow, but the almost ritualized taunting and celebrating were quite entertaining.
