Ready to get another experience for the 2nd day at the campsite. Freya and Eyra were walking along the empty--but not deserted--road in the NYC (national youth center).
It just happened that we no cars or even people were visible at the very moment we took the picture. All I could say was that there might be thousands of people in the camp site that weekend. But, since it was such a huge camp site, we barely saw a whole pack of people within a few yards. The only time we bumped into one another or other groups was when we were having our breakfast or lunch or dinner.^^
Guess what the next activity was! It was archery. Yup, it was archery. It was so cool not all of us were so excited to participate, including the children.
A lot of families were competing happily to shoot their arrows. Eyra,too, was no exception.
Yep, the instructor really did a good job at introducing and teaching us on how to shoot an arrow from from the seemingly light but turned-out-to-be heavy bow.
It was 9 in the morning. Yet, it was a bit hot. But, since the archery --the one we never had before-- was so enticing, we barely felt the heat. Eyra and her Mom were preparing....
Looks so easy from this angle. The fact was....Eyra had to be helped out in stretching out her arms so as to make enough stretch of arms to shoot the arrow.
She was trying to do it on her own this time. See the target down there? I think it was about 50 meter or so
Of course I would not miss the golden chance of trying my strength as well as 'luck' in shooting the arrow through the first bow ever. After experiencing it myself, I came to a conclusion that despite the fact of its being irresistibly enchanting, archery is NOT an easy sport, every.
Hmm, that made me think 'The Hunger Games' actors must've had rigorous training to be on that level--seen on the movie.
Our team from Iran, Korea, and Nepal were seen having their first try-outs. Even the kids were so eager to do their stunts on not-to-be-missed archery.
** Thanks for Kyobo Life for providing us with such great experience for us.
