Watch out J.Law. Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton seems fit for The Hunger Games with these archery skills.

While visiting Northern Ireland for a two-day tour of Belfast, Fermanagh and Ballymena, Middleton and Prince William met with members of Roscor Youth Village, which serves as a "haven of hope and escape" for children facing challenges in their daily lives. And the royal mom of three even got to practice her bow-and-arrow technique.

Needless to say, this isn't the first time for Her Royal Highness (she looks like a damn pro).

Katniss—er, we mean Kate—has shown off her archery skills previously. Most notably, in India and Bhutan back in 2016, wearing Paul & Joe (as one does).

During today’s visit, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge also played soccer with kids in Windsor Park football stadium, home of the Irish Football Association (IFA).

K. Middy looked athletic-casual in a Barbour jacket, Ralph Lauren sweater and black skinny jeans for the occasion (and got flirty with Wills in the process).

Just us, or is Middleton the sportiest member of the royal family? (Sorry, Harry. You did your best.)
