In Winter it is cold so
we shoot through windows .
(Yes, it may happen that someone forgets to lower the windows and shoots through the glass...) |

Normally
we stay still while shooting but at the New Year's Tournament we do some funny things like simulating shooting from a moving horse which is simulated with this thing with wheels. (Those who manage to get the horse runing and shoot while moving get 5 points even if they do not hit the target) |

To the left
you see the Azuchi, where the "real" targets are placed. The distance from where the photo was taken (28 meters) is exactly the distance from where we shoot!... To the right you see the practice
targets (Makiwara). Here you learn to use the bow, practice and shoot from a 3 m distance. |

The normal targets (Mato)
have a breadth of 30 cm...
