Hey guys, this is NUSensei.
Today, I'm very pleased to announce the next giveaway competition, sponsored by Astra Archery.
The theme for this competition is: Archery: Your Struggle, Your Success, Your Story.
In my relatively short time as an archer, I've been exposed to so many people
and as a prolific YouTube archer, I've been connected to so many other diverse experiences
from around the world.
It's been very inspirational and motivating to see people contacting me about their archery
concerns and what they've overcome
and it really encouraged me to seek out what other people have experienced.
We all have good and bad moments in archery.
It could be your first competition, and that thrill and fulfillment that comes out of beating
your personal best.
Or it could be that one time where everything fell apart and you felt shattered and angry
with yourself and you nearly walked out on archery.
While many times we have to put on a brave face and focus on the next shot, we still
carry these things with us.
This is our personal experience. This is our archery journey.
When you ask other people if they have similar experiences, you will be surprised at how
many people will put their hands up and say, "Yeah, me too!".
That is the goal of this competition.
This competition is an opportunity for you to share your story, to share your struggles
and your successes.
And to make that connection with other archers worldwide.
To enter this competition, what you have to do is to send me your archery story.
This is a reflection of your personal experience of your archery journey.
This focuses especially on the struggles that you had and how you overcame them.
This can be sent as a text file, a Word document or an email.
Additionally, if you would like to send supplementary material, such as photos or produced as a
video, I will also accept these submissions.
What I'm looking for are your stories that have impact and inspiration.
Not just for me, but for hundreds, if not thousands of people worldwide.
People who might be beginning their first steps in archery, or perhaps are already well
on the way but can't see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Your stories will bring hope.
I really want to emphasise that you are not alone in your journey.
You might think that you have the worst form ever or you're the worst archer ever
and you're the only one having these problems, but believe me, you are not.
Everyone goes through slumps, everyone has peaks of success, and understanding this and
sharing this is what makes people feel better about doing archery.
Archery is so individualistic and introspective that sometimes, we do lose sight of the big
picture.
The main criteria for this competition is motivation, inspiration and a positive message.
This time, there are three prizes.
Two runners-up will be given Astra Shot Trainers and the overall winner will be given a complete
Astra Archery training kit.
Submissions and enquiries can be sent to my official archery email. That's nu.sensei.archery@gmail.com.
The deadline for submissions will be the 31st of May.
Winners will be announced in mid-June.
Winning entries as well as selected short-listed submissions will be featured on this channel.
It is my hope that by sharing your archery struggles and successes that we all have a
big appreciation of the journey we all go through, and that you value your archery experience.
Furthermore, I hope that by sharing this, we inspire archers in generations to come.
I wish to thank Astra Archery for sponsoring this competition.
I personally looking forward to hearing about your archery experiences and journeys.
This is NUSensei, and I'll see you next time.
