The GSSF in collaboration with World Archery Americas, concluded phase one of its inaugural PVC Archery Development Seminar in Georgetown, conducted by international archer/coach Mr. Diego Torres of Columbia.
Mr. Torres is currently being hosted in Guyana by the GSSF to conduct various seminars for members of the Foundation: the focus of which will be archery safety, the fabrication of PVC bows and teaching the correct form for target archery. Seminars are geared to give participants the knowledge as to how to further develop this longstanding Olympic sport by making these low cost bows which will then be used for training and local competitions. Shooting practice sessions have also been scheduled to ensure that members practice the fundamentals of the sport of Archery from the beginning. Mr. Torres indicated he is very happy that he is working with a lot of beginners so therefore no “bad-habits’ would already have been cultivated with respect to form which is significantly harder to remedy.
