He urged all the personnel to take the training seriously.

Others included brief on the different types of aiming in Archery, technical demonstration on traditional archery with focus on anchor points, Foot Positioning and achieving consistency.  Thereafter, shooting session was introduced with splitting trainees into 2 teams (Alpha and Bravo). The Day One training was a huge success as all the participants performed excellently well with a practical shooting in 5 meters range shooting/practice. This shows that the participants had full understanding of the Archery basics.
