Archery

today is my 1st archery lesson due to termite infestation on the boards last saturday. i learnt aboout the positioning, stunts and commands needed for shooting the arrow accurately. other than that, i get to try out shooting for my 1st time. i did not hit any bullseye though >.<. but at least i did not shoot out of the board ^^. i used a traditional wooden bow. there is also a compound bow and metal bow which is much more complicated and expensive.
metal bow is actually the same as the bow i use, but it LOTS more expensive. a normal bow+arrow+ equipment cost $300++ but the metal one cost almost $2000!!!! near 7 times more expensive. but there is 1 guy there that owns 1 of the metal bows. he must be really rich! a metal bow however, reduces the need for maintanence and also able to shoot more accurately. i think thats the only difference in the 2 bows.
compound bows... much more complicated instead of having 1 bow string, a compound bow has 3. the additional bow string provides more support for the arrow and bow. the sp archery do not let us learn about compound bows though as i think even the seniors do not know how to use it. but 1 of my seniors say that there is 1 compound bow in the club. also, compound bows are much shorter. about 70% the size of the normal bow.
i wanna take a look at it T_T
