The Path to the Target: Olympic Recurve Equipment and Proper Stance Training

At the seminar organized by the Üsküdar University Archery Club, Olympic recurve equipment was introduced and proper stance and shooting techniques were taught through hands-on practice.

On January 6, 2026, the Üsküdar University Archery Club held a seminar titled “Introduction to Olympic Recurve Equipment and Stance Training” in Classroom A-330. 20 students attended the event.

During the seminar, the basic equipment of the Olympic recurve discipline was introduced in detail. Olympic archer Ceyhan Alkasan gave participants comprehensive information about the types of bows used in competitions, accessory equipment and the different disciplines. Key points regarding the correct and safe use of the equipment were demonstrated in practice.

The program also focused on proper stance, bow grip techniques and basic shooting principles. Participants had the opportunity to try holding an Olympic recurve bow, reinforcing theoretical knowledge with practice. The event, which emphasized the importance of balance, focus and discipline in archery, also addressed the sport’s contributions to both physical and mental development.

The event enabled students to gain technical knowledge of Olympic archery while also getting to know sports culture up close. The Archery Club aims to continue its activities that bring students together with sports and support their technical development.
