It was held on the 23, 24 & 25 of November 2009 @ SJI, KL.
Participated with Crystal & Jane.
23 November
The first day of the clinic.
We were brought to the BIO LAB to watch some videos of the international archers & games...
[that time i was wondering why are we going to BIO LAB to watch videos?? o.o]
The videos were:
-Olympic 2008 (Italy vs Malaysia)
There were total 4 matches, 3 by 3.
In the first 3 matches, Malaysia lost to Italy by only 1 point and that time i thought Malaysia could win but unfortunately the game ended with a big gap, but not more than 10 points if i am not mistaken...
-Athens 2004(Korea vs Italy)
This match was close 'cause both are strong teams, especially Korea's.
After watching videos, we were told to go down to the concourse for the "Introduction to Archery Equipments" Session...
During that session, we were taught to memorize all the parts of the bow and the arrow and some function of some parts of the bow and the arrow was given by the coach and as well as teacher in-charge-Pn. Norlia and helped by the facilitators of each group at the same time.
Some parts of the bow:
1.Upper Limb
2.Lower Limb
3.Pivot Point
4.Grip
5.Long Stabilizer
6.Short Stabilizer
7.Damper
8.Adjustable Weight
9.String
10.Centre String
11.Nocking Point
12.Sight
13.Sight Pin
14.Plunger Button
15.Clicker
16.Arrow Rest
Some parts of the arrow:
1.Nock
2.Shaft
3.Point
4.Fletcher
Some protection gadgets:
1.Chest Guard
2.Arm Guard
3.Sling
4.Finger Tap
After knowing it, it is the time to fix it!
The parts of the bow was displaced by each facilitator from each group and we were told to fix everything back in the correct position.Fixing those parts back to its place was way easier than pulling the string of the bow.It requires a lot of strength.
Crystal & I could not pull the string of the bow even we were doing by 2 person.This signified that we do not have enough strength and it really require a lot of strength.
Besides that,we were taught to do the exercises that archers do, in the correct way.
Exercises:
1.Hand Stand
[i find that this is the easiest among all the other exercises.]
2.Sit Up
[not too bad, just that it hurt my abdomen.]
3.Bumping
[this was tough! this bumping requires you to go down and touch the floor with your whole body while your hands & legs are still holding there and you have to raise up again.]
4.(I do not know what it is called but it is some kind of exercise where one lies on the floor and one will throw one's leg when one's leg is raised up)
HAD FUN THE WHOLE DAY!
[although i cannot deny that i was a little sleepy!]
