UT (University of Twente) Blend

On 9th October, I was having fun !! :)  UT Blend is one of the events in my campus to get international students knowing of the sports and cultures association in the university. So far, they were always Dutch students involved and active in the association. Sooo,  the main purpose is to get it “blend” by catch the international students as much as possible.

Unfortunately, not whole association participated. There were just several workshops offer:  archery, hockey, volleyball, multi sports, board games, boxing, pool, roadsurfing, modern dance, jazz dance breakdance, juggling,  photography, and so on. There also limited of time , so we can’t try all of them (as always, life is a choices :p ),  then I chose archery, hockey, jazzdance and modern dance.

Among all, i loveeeeeeeeeee archery.. it was so interesting. Before u start, they gave us the safety instructions, the basic instruction how to do it, and test our eyes, whether we used left or right eyes for aiming the target. And for me, i’m a ‘left eyes’ ( I even can’t close my right eyes for aiming) , but the problem (at least for me )  if u were left eyes, then u should stand with ur left hand that pull the arch, and its quite hard for me :( i’m thinking to change my direction and used my right hand, but its not allowed.

Well, here are several steps  :

First, we should using all the properties needed, for the fingers, hands, and for our back. Next, stand in the line, one foot across each other. You are not allowed to pass the lines at all, no matter happens ( I drop the arrow and step ahead to take it, but the trainer yell at me, ahaha.  Then keep your two fingers across the arch, put  the arrow to the arch (there were 3 feathers with two kind of colours. 1 colour which is different with two other is directed to our faces)  , standing upright, turn your head to the target board, raised ur elbow, pull the arch through your chin, look at the aim, focus, concentrate, take a breath (ahaha,, this was my steps :P )  anddddddd…..  release you arrow.

hmm, it feels good when u release it.. And also when they fly right to the target. I love it a lot an keen to try it again !!
