Selmo has just left Hobbiton.

If my memory serves me correctly (it doesn't always ) , in the opening section of The Hobbit, where the author is describing hobbits, several sports and games are mentioned.

Hobbits are described as excelling at games that involve aiming, such as archery and darts. Bilbo later shows his aiming skills when he tackles the spiders in Mirkwood.
