ARCHERY Highlight
Hi , my name is Sadie . I have done archery for one year , and I am currently in my 2 nd year . My goal is to do this all through Middle School and High School . I hope to get a scholarship for college in archery .
So , now I will tell you a little about archery itself . Archery may look simple , but it can be quite difficult sometimes . To start out , you need the right bow with the right strength . Our coaches help us with that . Our school provides the bow , but you can still shoot with your own . To shoot , you have your quiver in front of you , and if you are right handed then your left side is facing the target with your bow on your left foot . Do the opposite if you ’ re left handed . Your aim-point all depends on the strength of your bow . The weaker the bow , the higher you aim . The stronger the bow , the more you get to aim where you want to shoot . But , everyone aims differently . I am in the lower right corner of the red . This doesn ’ t mean , however , that a person with the same draw weight as my bow is going to aim at the same point . Your stance , the way you grip the bow , the way you release , and your aim , are all stuff to pay attention to .
Archery isn ’ t for everyone , but I sure do love it ! Give it a try ! You ’ ll never know if you like it until you try it !
