This summer when I was at a medieval festival at Rasnov (10 km from Bran, Transilvania - Romania) I've picked up for the first time a bow and I was introduced to a beautiful sport, archery. When I held in my hands for the first time a bow, I felt powerful and I knew that I should do this early in my life.

Of course, the fists shots were a disaster, I didn’t hit the target which was at 15 meters away but as I practiced more and more I managed to hit once the bullseye.

After that, I grew fond of archery and twice a month I went to an archery club in my hometown. There I learned the correct way to shot an arrow, how to aim, how to put the arrow in a bow, how to let go an arrow, how you must keep your body to not get injured and much much more.

The picture was taken by my good friend vmoldo@vmoldo with his camera and retouched using lightroom presets (check his work)
