Bartın University is Ready for Modern Archery

In addition, talent selection, shooting, beam knitting, arrow cutting and modern archery strategies in weather conditions in Modern Archery were explained in practice at Antalya 100th Year Archery Facilities.
Attending the Coaching Course, Res. Ast. Recep AYDIN said, “We, sports scientists, have the primary task of transferring archery, our ancestral sport in our region, to university youth; we are trying to do this. It was a great feeling to see the National Teams Technical Director, National Chief Referees and regional coaches that I followed on sports channels while training us. We have top athletes in the world, but since modern archery is not known as the Bartın region, none of our young people are almost aware of this sport. We spent 13 days full of hands-on training; I am excited to transfer these to Bartın University students”. Also, “My School of Physical Education and Sports Director Assoc. Dr. He expressed his gratitude to Taner BOZKUŞ and my Head of Coaching Education Department Ali ÖZKAN for their dedication.”
