Kaki dan badan straight macam menghadap kiblat
Pandang ke target 90 degree
Tangan semuanya lurus
Bow straight
Arrow di bawah penanda
Never shoot an empty bow
Tangan kiri genggam dengan tiga jari paling bawah, knuckle makes a Y shape
Forearm at axis between supine and pronate
Push motion
Tangan kanan pull the string with your middle three fingers
At the first phalanges
Pull until it reaches the corner of your mouth
Close your left eye
Aim at the target
Wait for 5 seconds to stabilise your tremors
Use the gap technique if your aim is off
Release as if tali putus
Use your elbow
Followthrough until your ear
Ustaz Azhan said, archery is sunnah. The only sport Prophet ever mention. Hadith stated anyone who prepare, pass, shoot an arrow dapat pahala. And the distance to pick up your shot arrows are like raudhah, “Jadi doa la banyak2 masa kutip tu.”
Baiting has been me posting on stories. And he took the bait. Asked me where I went. He said he last went for archery back in KL.
We chatted and I asked “How good are you?”
He replied with a picture of a target which yellow part was filled to brim with arrows, and a smug face.
Apparently he did archery in secondary school. But damn this is elite level. I saluted and bowed to him. “Remind me not to mess with you.”
All in all, it’s quite therapeutic. Just focus and shoot. They used archery as therapy for dyslexic kids, perhaps that’s why this has been therapeutic. The only barely sore part is my phalanges.
