Archery

Archery is a multi-disciplinary sport. It is a good form of exercise that helps strengthen the muscles of the upper body through the rigours of drawing and delivering arrows. Likewise, it forces archers to become disciplined as they are required to control their shots remaining unfazed by factors such as wind, distance, noise, and other competitors. 

I tried this sport for the very 1st time when I was 10 years old. The basic equipment of archery includes one bow and multiple arrows per person, as well as targets to the arrows toward. The arrows are stored in a quiver or arrow case. The bow and arrow are the two most critical pieces of archery equipment. However, since I was quite small, the bow was too big & heavy for me & I could barely hold it. So my instructor helped me out. Under his guidance, I thoroughly enjoyed this sport & now I wish to master it.

Through archery, I have come to realise an important lesson of humility and respect. Despite competing against each other, archers stand shoulder to shoulder, demonstrating the solidarity and camaraderie that is a hallmark of the sport. It is indeed one of my favorite sports because it improves hand-eye coordination, instills patience, and boosts self-confidence.
