Have you ever wished for that Katniss Everdeen moment, not being swoon by Peeta and Gale (partly), I mean the action and thrill of holding a bow and arrow, aiming for the bulls eye like in the book and movie. That’s what I felt except for the braided hair part to complete the look.
If you plan to find things to do in the heart of San Juan, why not try archery at the Archery Academy Located at the 5th floor Intrawest Center, Greenhills (It’s just at the back of Promenade -walking distance) 33 Annapolis street, Greenhills San Juan. It’s the Mint green Blvd, on your way a definite cardio workout since there are no elevators. Landmarks are Atlanta Center which is right beside and like I mentioned Promenade is just near.
Do give them a call when you plan to set an appointment at 0917 8037422 , 1 batch can accommodate maximum 6 people for an hour. You get the 15 minute trial – serves as an orientation too. Be there 15 minutes before class, No extensions granted for late comers. You can follow them on Instagram @thearcheryacademy. They also have an ongoing summer program that you can check.
Tips: You’ll be sweating a lot – good workout! plus wear preferably sports attire, rubber shoes and have fun. Don’t over think too much in aiming just relax and don’t place your bow and arrow too high then you’ll hit the bulleye. Well it depends also on your height and the proper way of holding your bow & arrow. They’ll be teaching you the proper ways like for the arrow there is a proper side when you insert it. Then gently release and proper body mechanics. Another tip, Bring water also 🙂
The Archery Academy practices safety guidelines and you’ll like the different wall art in every section of the place, very Instagram worthy – compared to other archery places – Where archery meets art.
For the price of P550 for an hour of shooting and fun – inclusions of unlimited arrows, protective gear, use of equipment and range plus coaching. You get to choose from their vast designs of bulls eye, there are emoticons, hearts and Miley Cyrus on a wrecking ball (the first one I got) then additional P50 for the classic bulls eye
Definitely recommend this place for barkada and families that just want to unwind and have fun :).
