You know what @khey my dear ๐ I like your "devil glue" idiom ๐ it means a powerful adhesive glue almost like satan ๐ only the Achenese and Indonesia has that word for a strong adhesive things. Just like devil chilies for the hottest chilie we ever ate๐.
Hey.. thank you for sharing this and congratulations for being exposed by the @asapers. I really love your post about the archery and horse riding club๐ are you back to Langsa again? Your research is completed?
@cicisaja how are you today? I always miss your awesome comment ๐ presicely as you mentioned above about the devil glue ๐๐ i just realized if other readers didnt get what is devil glue exactly on my post, but you helped me out explaining it well thank you ๐ yes iam back home and feel happy at home sweet home ๐ Is there an archery club in your city?
Hello @khey.. a bit hectic with the shop and my Father in law arrival from Hajj today, but well managed๐ You know what... I love reading the Achenese posts in english๐ there's always something "cute" in theirs.. just like you did in this post.
Well.. yes there are several atchery clubs here, private and not too massive. I saw some local children practicing it at the Pamulang Equestrian Club, and some kids at my neighbourhood told me that they practicing archery somewhere around south jakarta and west java borders.
So.. how much money you'd spent to make those arrows? What about the bow? Did you made it too?
Dear @cicisaja what a busy lady, may Allah bless you and your family always. What do you sell at your shop? Haha acehnese just quite bit different :D Well that sounds nice as you can easily find the place to practice the archery just in case you want it. The arrow i made about, spending around 4-5 dollars per arrow, if i buy a ready one in the shop it will be around 7-8 dollars. And we need it about a dozens or more for practice, so it will be spending about 1,3 million rupiah per dozens of arrows depends on the feathers, the wood, and the nock. Because sometimes it broken, or just lose it on the grass :D And the bow no i am not a bowyer, for making a bow it needs special knowledge that i yet learn it, it also need special attention and time to do that because more difficult than making an arrow. Mostly bowyer are man.
Am I a busy lady ๐ busy at home and steemut too๐well.. I felt like Im too old to start practicing, beside the oroblem with my left shoulder, still have some screws in it๐ that's why I quit practicing wall climbing and avoid rafting too.
I know a bowyer in lhokseumawe, I don't count how many times he gets hospitalized because the injuries while making a bow. But he seems to love his side works so much. You'd probably knew him because he is quite a goid writer too, not here on steemit but newspaper and facebook, his name is Bisma From Lhokseumawe.
Anyway, that's quite cheap .. I thought it would be expensive rather than buying it. Well..enjoy your practices and keep steeming.
Wow you are a climber and love rafting too? so do i love white water rafting and tubing rafting :D @cicisaja :D Oh the injury i am so sorry to hear that, hope you are fine always. Ya, i know him but never meet in person. Its very rare a woman choose to be a bowyer. You need to be really patience :D And yes as an archer its so much good if you are in a condition out of arrows on your side and can make it yourself just in case you re in a jungle or in war, because actually the arrows we released not always coming back
I was a climber, uhmm.. 20-25 years ago? Before I got a traffic accident, I love to try many kind of sports.. but nothing really cool as athletic for sure๐
Well.. if there is a woman from Aceh become a good bowyer๐ I hope it would be you @khey, but I don't want to hear any news about injuries ๐ so.. just becan archer then๐ let the man does the bow.
Oh, hope you are gonna be okay always @cicisaja. Yes i agree maybe some other time i will do that, learn to make a bow but for now i need to practice more my horseback archery, ride the horse and release nice shoots, adab and akhlak as an archer, mind, heart, wisdom.
