I want to share a little bit about the sport I did yesterday. For the first time, I tried archery, and it was like a dream come true. I felt like Katniss Everdeen, The Girl on Fire.
At first, the class was private. I learned a little about the bow and its parts, and also about the arrows.
After a bit of discussion, I went straight to the practice. Interestingly, my dominant hand has always been my right, but yesterday in class, they asked me which side was dominant, and naturally, I answered right. They gave me a test to verify it, and the result showed that my left eye is dominant. Therefore, to use the bow, I have to use my dominant eye, which is my left. I was terrified to learn this because I'm not good at doing things with my left side, but fortunately, I didn't have any difficulty. From the beginning, everything went well, and I even received compliments on my skill level, considering it was my first time.
I practiced for a while without aiming because I hadn't been taught how. I asked, but they told me I should first familiarize myself with the movement, the feeling, the force the bow exerts on my arms. Once I achieved that, they taught me how to aim, and from there I began to focus my shots more. It was a great experience, and I will definitely continue with the classes.

Quiero compartirles un poco del deporte que hice ayer. Por primera vez practiqué tiro con arco, esto fue como un sueño hecho realidad, me sentí como Katniss Everdeen, La chica en llamas.
Al principio la clase fue privada, primero conocí un poco sobre el arco y sus partes, también conocí sobre las flechas.
Después de hablar un poco pasé directamente a la práctica y algo curioso es que mi mano dominante siempre ha sido la derecha pero ayer en las clases me preguntaron cual era mi lado dominante y lógicamente respondí el derecho y me hicieron una prueba para verificarlo y el resultado arrojó que en mis ojos el que domina es el izquierdo, por tanto que para usar el arco debo hacerlo de mi lado dominante con respecto al ojo, el lado izquierdo, me aterré de saber esto porque hacer cosas con mi lado izquierdo no me sale bien pero afortunadamente no tuve ninguna dificultad, desde el inicio todo surgió bien y hasta recibí elogios por el nivel que tenía siendo la primera vez.
Practiqué por un tiempo sin apuntar porque no me habían enseñado, pregunté pero me dijeron que debía familiarizarme primero con el movimiento, la sensación, la fuerza que ejerce el arco sobre mis brazos, una vez logrado eso me enseñaron a apuntar y desde ahí empecé a enfocar más mis disparos, fue una experiencia genial, claramente continuaré con las clases.

STOPI love the reference of your archery class. "The Girl On Fire" was an iconic line when the seasons were released and I am glad you were able to feel like Katniss in your archery experience. Looking at your position and how you stand, you look like you already mastered archery. Glad your left hand helped you perform best in. Continue honing your skill in archery @josehany !
Thank you so much, the class really helped me a lot and I quickly adapted to holding the bow and also with aiming.
This is such a great photo of you... you look so powerful. In that outfit you look a little like Tomb Raider :

I've always wanted to try archery but keep forgetting to make it happen. It looks super fun.
I went in with two references in mind: Katniss and Lara Croft, so yes.
Go for it! I always had it in mind too, and I decided to make it happen.
precision is key for this sport
Control is key
Oh. I would love to try learning archery too!
It’s fun!! I hope you can try it some day
Your experience is very cool. I love archery, and a few years ago I had the opportunity to meet an incredible bow and arrow craftsman who makes all his equipment in the same way as the original primitive bows, mainly following more oriental lines, that is, with bamboo! He also uses a regional wood from my country for the arrows. Archery is almost like meditation, it's fascinating. Thank you for sharing!
