Ill admit that I didnt know much about archery until I was assigned to a day at an archery field receiving lessons. I wasnt all that excited about my task simply because there was nothing that sounded appealing about shooting arrows at a target a distance away from me. I couldnt figure out why people would invest time, talent and money into such an activity, or a sport as many called it. I arrived at the archery field full of skepticism and a desire to have the day finished. I was convinced that this would be one of the days that my job was my enemy and when I couldnt wait to get back home. I was wrong. From the moment I met the directors of the archery field to the moment I returned to my car four hours later, I enjoyed myself. I learned a lot about archery and I realized that it truly was a sport that I could enjoy and that was worth some time and energy. Archery takes a lot more concentration and hard work than I first imagined it would. I ignorantly thought that Id be able to walk onto the archery field and shoot my arrows directly into the center of the target. I wondered why anyone couldnt accomplish this task. I was rudely awakened to how hard archery really is. I quickly gained appreciation for all people who have taken the time to perfect their archery skills. Since this first experience with archery Ill admit that I have been back to the course multiple times. I have gathered there with many groups of friends and enjoyed afternoons full of laughter and stubborn trying to get it right. If you are looking for a great new hobby and a way to work on your concentration and even strength, then archery is for you. |
