Archery Introduction
Archery has become a popular sport across many parts of the world. The tools of archery are the oldest and most original hunting weapons known to man and have played an important role as weapons of war over the course of history.
Not just little boys and men have discovered and participate in the discipline of archery, but more and more women and many families have found pleasure in this sport in which together they can get some exercise in a fun way.
In addition to sporting, archery is used in meditative and therapeutic purposes. Archery with the bow is a means for personal development.
Workshops are available for beginners offering a thorough introduction to the instinctive side of archery. Learning the basic movements is very important in the beginning, because fast reactions are necessary when animal targets sneak up. Both theoretical and practical basics of traditional archery along with its historical background, as well as fundamental exercises with a bow and arrow are taught in the introductory courses.
Courses are held in small groups especially for beginners, to ensure enough room and time to focus on the basics of the sport, and to offer as much hands on experience with the equipment as possible in a relaxed environment.
Some workshops are held in particularly attractive landscapes, offering a pleasurable setting away from the noise and stress from everyday city life. With the fullness of nature surrounding the archer, it is a great time to reflect on what is really important in life.
Here one can learn not only about the tools and techniques for archery in nature based environs, but it also helps mentally with one’s own inner nature. This can be a very holistic experience while at the same time providing knowledge in the traditional methods used by our ancestors.
