The kind of archery that is learned by copying what you see at a local archery range is, after all is said and done, nothing more than that. It means that two hundred shots done carelessly are inferior to two shots done with care, and two shots done with care are superior to two hundred shots done carelessly. Among those who practice, there are those who want to cavalierly shoot a lot of arrows and those who are lazy and want to shoot as little as possible. If you want to become skillful, you should shoot more than one hundred arrows every day, day after day. You must not make the mistake of thinking that shooting carefully means to experiment at random.
Shooting is a practical skill.
You must practice over and over again just as you have been taught. Then your teacher will correct you and explain this secret. This is how kyujutsu must be learned. Among all of the different martial arts, there is no art where it is as easy to get a swelled head as kyujutsu. If you take up two arrows, face the target, and hit the target with both of them, so far as hitting is concerned, this is the same for anyone, no matter how skillful an archer one may be.
