The past three days of the Archery Project have brought a lot of excitement and new knowledge! On the first day, we met our instructors, Vicky and Dana. Dana is the head instructor at the Art of Archery, a private business he founded. On the first day we learned the mandatory safety regulations, shooting form, and that archery is not as easy as it is shown in the movies. On the second day we had lots of shooting practice, and we started our research projects. I am researching the way archery is portrayed in modern film. We shot about 30 arrows and my accuracy improved each round, and by the end of the day at least one shot hit the X in the middle of the target. Today my accuracy was worse, even though we shot over 45 arrows. Egor has been filming us with his GO PRO camera as we shoot, and he made a slow motion video, including different perspectives, which we will show at the Project Symposium.
