Things that surprise me about the school archery program

By

I joined the high school archery nasp program and these are things I’ve been surprised about.

1: they never state of practice if practice is mandatory that night or not: They sent a text this morning saying parent meeting tonight at practice but they didn’t say we had to come. And I’m not coming bc of stomach ache. But I don’t know wether to come stick it out or not bc they didn’t say you hv to.

2: they let you leave early and practice isn’t mandatory unlike other sports: I’m surprised they don’t kick me out bc I leave an hour early in the 2 hour session and I only come 1 day a week out of the 2 days. Or sometimes I don’t come at all depending on how busy I get with life outside school. 78% the reason I’m doing archery is because of this. I quit martial arts bc they required 2 days a week 1 hr session each.

4: no borrowing equipment like genesis bow: They said I can’t bc they need an adequate supply of right hand, left hand bows and they can’t guarantee it would ever come back. IMO they should put a gps tracker on it bc some kids can’t go out and buy one. And how are they going to be able to practice in free time. But then that cost more to buy trackers. After asking me and my dad just decided to go to the store the coach recommended and bought one. But I feel like it wouldn’t be that big of a deal to rent them out to students. It’s like the library rules if it’s destroyed you pay for it’s repair. But I can’t complain bc that’s how other sports are I don’t think the tennis coach would let you take home a racket.

Happy St. Crispin's Day!

Battle of Agincourt From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ​ Part of the Hundred Years' War Date 25 October 1415 (Saint Crispin's Day) Location Azincourt, County of Saint-Pol (now Pas-de-Calais) Result English victory ​ The Battle of Agincourt French: Azincourt was an English victory in the Hundred Years' War. It took place on 25 October 1415 (Saint Crispin's Day) near Azincourt, in northern France.[b] The unexpected English victory against the numerically superior French army boosted English morale and prestige, crippled France and started a new period of English dominance in the war. ​ After several decades of relative peace, the English had resumed the war in 1415 amid the failure of negotiations with the French. In the ensuing campaign, many soldiers died from disease, and the English numbers dwindled; they tried to withdraw to English-held Calais but found their path blocked by a considerably larger French army. Despite the numerical disadvantage, the ba

New Archers: What information do you need to know, and how do you find it?

By
One thing that I love about this community compared to other online archery forums is that it's got a good mix of experience. It's also where a lot of new archers seem to come for advice when starting out. That's great! However, it can be frustrating to give good advice without the correct information. Every body is different, and so every archer's setup and starting point is going to be a little different too. Eye dominance: For any shooting sport, it's important to know which eye is dominant because that's the eye that you will naturally aim with. There are several different tests that you can do, but the one that I've found to be most simple is to hold your hands up with your fingers and thumbs extended and overlap them so that they make a triangle. Look at an object in the distance through that triangle. Then you can either close each eye (one at a time) or bring your hands back to your face while continuing to look at the object. The eye that keeps

A Historical Defense of Lars Anderson

By
If you've been on an archery forum in the last few years, you've seen the discussions about Lars Anderson and his speed shooting videos. The comments across the internet about his videos are almost universally negative. You wouldn't believe the hate this guy gets. In a way, it's understandable. In his videos, Lars essentially claims that modern archers have lost many of the techniques that made ancient archers so formidable, and that through his readings of ancient archery manuals, he was able to rediscover some of those techniques. He then demonstrates that by using those techniques, he has become the fastest speed shooter alive today. And oh my god, those claims set the archery world on fire. The amount of hate he got then, and continues to get, is insane.These are VERY bold claims, and it's only natural to be skeptical. However, I find most of his critics to be disingenuous. And through my own readings of the early archery writings, I find that Lars is a lot c
