Hunger Games was written by Suzanne Collins who created the character of Katniss Everdeen, she wrote

Also her skill in archery came in most handy when Cato grabbed hold of Peeta and threatening to kill him. Katniss was able to hit Cato with her bow, directly in his hand. So she could kill Cato but keep Peeta alive. Katniss has exceptional accuracy all of the time, “I pull an arrow from my quiver and send it strait at the Game makers’ table.
