Topic: Learning the bow in Seoul
Hi,
My son and I have been actively learning Traditional Korean Archery here in Seoul for about 4 months. In December we finished a 13 week course at HwangHakJeong, and have been shooting for the past month at SukhoJeong (Namsan mountain). Needless to say we have found it immensely challenging and fun. Language is our biggest barrier, but the local club members are always very supportive and helpful. My son (14 year old) normally has at least one or two older members pull him to the side to give him extra help.
We are here for 5 or 6 more months, so our plan is to shoot as much as possible. Leave here with some great memories and some lifelong friends. While shooting last week I miraculously hit 3 out of 5 targets, so there might be some hope for us. We are starting to work with the Master at SukhoJeong who speaks English
