My First Training in the Elite Team

Wow, I was all excited about who are the people in the team. I was late and I had to set up my bow in a rush which eating my bun.

Before we started shooting, our coach call us together and explain what was expected from us. That he is not paid to do this but he wants to train us like an national standard archer. We had to write down our consumption of food. Record our intake or whatever and also our rest.

Strength training, skills training and mental training. We first started off with warm up and then started to shoot with our terra band and feel each of our muscles
and then had two round of sighting rounds and then shoot for the scoring rounds. After 6 details of 6 arrows. My score was miserable of 223.

Then we moved on to the quick and slow shooting - 3 minutes for 6 arrows and 1 minute for arrows, 2 minutes for 6 arrows and 1minute 30 secs for 6 arrows and 4 minutes for 6 arrows and 30 secs for 6 arrows. If we failed to finish shooting 6 arrows in the dedicated time, we had to do 5 push up for each unfinished arrows.

Overall the training was fun and yet tough. I enjoy it and look forward for more.
