Because I had been injuring my arm at archery, my host father called an archery store to inquire about an arm-guard. He got to talking with the owner and it turns out he is a former Olympic archer as well as an alumni of Kansai Gaidai. He offered to meet me and give me some tips at an upcoming archery competition in Mino, Kyoto.
His name is Hiroshi Kajikawa and here is a shot of him giving me some pointers. On the right is my host father.
Here he is again correcting my form. Apparently, I had more than one problem.
I was very grateful for him teaching me, and he even offered to go out drinking with me sometime in the future.
He also drew on my hand where how I should properly hold the bow-string. (The hand should not be perpendicular to the string.)
