Archery Rap

It’s quiet
it’s the last round
and you need a two
to win gold
come on it’s only a few

he’s on target like a marksman
he thinks:
the targets you
he got his crew to cheer him up
to stand behind him like whooo

that boy is good enough to win this
shoot it right through
wind comes up
I know he knew
he pulls back
click
lets it go

to the new
World Cup Champion now
what can you do
arrows fly
look at this guy
to win this he would try
and now he’s done it

he has won a hundred

he is happy
a thanks to his great
grandpappy
he’s thankful
Joyfull
will never ever let go

and to the time he was a boy
he loved it
such a joy
It’s not a toy

nobody ever want to verse with the cowboy
when he has his bow

you saved my life
maybe its my time to save yours

but I could never repay you
what you did for me is way more

but I’m not giving up faith
and you’re not giving up on me
get up keep trying
before he has one more chance to...


win

Olympic Archery

Olympic Archery

Olympic archery, It has been around since the 1900 Paris games, You don't see it often,only in the summer. But here is the interesting thing, change everywhere.

Archery made its way to Hollywood in the movie Robin Hood when he thinks he has lost when his opponent hits the target dead center. Robin draws back and splits his opponents arrow in half.

Now it is different. The bow is not so simple, it is now an Olympic game for both men and women. The bow also changed from a long bow to a recurve bow. A Compound Bow is used in the  games also.
The distance between the bow and target is 70 meters away. The highest amount of points you can get for one arrow is a ten and the least is a miss. If an arrow hits on the line the points go higher. The points go through 0 - 10.


Each archer shoots 72 arrows to  compete in competition for the team division. In the first three rounds of the individual competition archers shoot 18 arrows in groups of three. were in the quarterfinals, semifinals and medal matches, the archers each shoot 12 arrows.  Korean archer Kim Kyung Wook has amazed many people with her skill and is known world wide.

The Olympic bow is a Recurve Bow with many attachments such as a clicker, front and back stabilizers, v-bar and v-bar extender, arrow rest, nocking point, weights, sight and sight window and many more things to come. The reason for so many attachments is that in the olympics you want to be accurate.

The arrows parts are fletching(feathers),field point(tip),knock(end),carbon fiber or aluminum shaft(middle).The feather size is how long or short the archer wants it to be.

Thats a wrap up of history in Olympic Archery.

Archery Poem

Archery

It’s quiet
time can’t wait
only 6 seconds left.

So much anxiousness,
I pull back and shoot

Startled,
shaken.
I missed

That’s it!!!
I lost.
4th place

Kim gets gold
and
my stats are down

Now I know
it’s hard
in this
competition

Well...
I still have London

My Grandfather's Death: My Journal

2/23/12

I love my grand father so much. We used to do everything together. But things don't always end up how you want them to. He is in a hospital right at this moment. My mom left this morning to see him. He lives in fl0rida and we live in New Hampshire. He is well in his 70s and he has really bad arthritis and he also has pneumonia and if you dont know what that means well, he is dying. He has about a week and a half to live. My mom is crying every day, She talks on the phone allot and I think it is my grand mother she is talking to. but I dont know whats going to happen. Today I was crying in front of my whole class in a discution. I know he has a week..or less. I can just feel his thoughts, alone,scared,week,helpless. I have two friends or that I know of that I can trust, that can feel what i'm feeling, My friend Connor lost his grand father and he didnt get to say goodbye and my friend Ainslee who has lost her grand father without knowing him all that much. I hate the fact that I know when he is going to die. I have my whole class supporting me. I wrote a blog life not knowing any thing about him. But now I am here so I guess that back fired on me. Its 6:52 I am waiting for tomorow not knowing if if he is dead now or if I am saying this for nothing. I am glad to have a teacher who cares, her  name is ms small ( well that's what I call her),and she is my favorite teacher.

2/24/12

Today I am still scared for him but I got to talk to him on the phone and he sounded so confused. I was board so I was looking at pictures in my moms computer and I saw a ton of pictures of him and it sort of made me sad to see the pictures and to see my mom upset. I am going to my friend Griffins ( he is one of my best friends) he is taking me to open gym and I hope  that will take my mind  of of everything.

2/25/12

Today we are having a party with are relatives and we are going to skype him if he is strong  enough to talk. We now have everyone here and my dad said  we cant skype. My cousins and their boyfriends were board  so I said lets play pool  and they said okay. We played a few games and then my cousins left. Like five minutes later they came in the room. My cousin Jess just cried and I could see her mouth say their grandfather ( she pointed to me wile talking to her boyfriend ) is dead. Then I looked at my other cousin Julie and she was crying to. I went upstairs and a lot of people were gone.

2/26/12

The next day, my dad said that our mom will be back on Wednesday, I wonder what she will be thinking after all this. I cant wait ( not really ) to here the story of the sad adventure of  my grand father. I hope he is happy in.. Well you know.

Flea Flicker

One day I had  a  football game a against are rivals. We where  tie game 18 - 18. we where on offence and I yelled " HUDLE UP '' so the offence got in a huddle and are QB said flea flicker on one. "Ready break".
A flea flicker is when the center snaps the ball and the QB grabs the ball and pitches it to the running back.Now the running  back flicks ( pitches) the ball back to the QB and the QB passes the  up the field for the touchdown.
We only use this play when it is needed. if you want to see a flea flicker play watch this.

bullying

I read a blog about bullies and it was a blog by Griffin Getting Bullied.
In the blog he said 2 on 4, he had 2. Well, I was that second person and it was not fun.He is not lying, all he said was true. 1 of the 4 was chasing him around with a plastic bottle and when they got Griffin down, they were kicking him so I couldn't take it anymore so I grabbed them by their shoulders and threw them to the ground and stood there so they couldn't touch him any more. Then it happened " L.I.T.T.L.E"
I knew that Griffin hates being called little and he was mad. The kids ran away and Griffin was crying and then the kids mom saw Griffin crying and said " What's going on?" I said the certain  someone was picking on him and then she made the boys apologize and when the kids left their sister came and kicked dirt in Griffin's eye and then left. It was a short day after that and then we all went home.

Life

Well, some people think life stinks. but if there was no life I wouldn't be here writing a blog and you wouldn't be reading it. But don't think about what doen't matter think  about the good things.
Life is a beautiful thing. Your life is the most importing thing to you. You may not think about it but you should. Life over death.  " Life is to short " one of my favorite sayings. Have fun wile you can do what you want and don't let anyone tell you what to do, unless its a stupid choice and someone tells you not to do it. Don't live down. Be your self.
You always have at one point of your life or that you hate you fact of  life and  the fact of  earth( maybe ). But think about the good things  and say to your self its not worth it. Don't ever wish death upon your self or on someone els. Death is good in some ways like if you have lost someone and when you die you can see them but other wise live life to the fullest and don't give up.
I love my life and you should to. I think everyone should have a   happy past and future. But its not always what it should be. That is a sad  thing because you should cherish every moment of your life if its with a friend,family or with someone you have just met.
Suicide is awful because you are just waisting your life because of someone or your simply fed up with life. I have even heard of  bullies making people want to commit suicide. If you do this your not just waisting your life you're making families of yours, friends, and people that only know you a little sad and that is because it is a horrible thing,to die. If one of my family members died I would be a wreck until I forget it but that is also hard. The same thing with a friend.
Don't make yourself mad or sad just be happy and be yourself. One other thing, if some one wants you to do something that you know is wrong don't do it it could get you sick and possibly die. So just think about ti if you were to die what do you think would happen to the people around you.

Freedom Writers

Movies are like a book come to life but you don’t have to read!!!

My favorite movie is called Freedom Writers.It’s like a sad sort of drama like My Sisters Keeper. Its about a new teacher in room 203 and she is teaching a bunch of  criminals and gang people ect. She was upset her first day at the job and then she felt bad about the kids and saw what they were going through and that’s how it all started…

She went to the head master and told them they need real books and not papers stapled together, real supplies and not something you would use and then throw away. She has the principle against her and thinks that her students are bad. But she stands up for her kids gets them more supplies for there school days.Getting new supplies and everything meant so much to her students. She has this idea that they should write down their thoughts in a jurnal and if they want to let the teacher read them to just put it in a cabinet. The next day she looks in the cabinet and everyone put their note books in it. Its almost like they enjoy going to school now and that they think they are safe there.

She read all the note books and was so sad about the lives of the kids. They had a celebration because all the kids are starting a new life now and a better one to. A kid read something from his diary when the party was still going and in this part my mom was crying. Here is a link of the specific kid also the trailer.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MT0L1U-Rdj4&feature=player_detailpage

I think it is the best movie I have ever seen. I also think it’s one of the most sad. I can tell in the movie the teacher really is strong for her students and can stand up for them. Its a movie that gets you going and you just cant stop watching it until its over. It might be bad for some kids to watch because of the violence and language,its also rated PG-13. My first time watching it was on TV. My mom was watching it with me and I was having a party with my family and it was so loud I couldn’t hear it so I wanted to see the whole thing. I watched it on Netflix and really enjoyed it .

I say its a movie to watch ( if you can ). It might be hard to understand at first but if you watch it the second time you will get it better.

Its amazing what you can do when you trie your hardest. Its so inspiering in  what you can do with how little you have and not what you don’t. So here is my question. If you were evicted what would you do,who would you tern to and how would you make it through. We in Kensington NH or at least in our school we all have a home. But if all you had was school,would you Make the most of it or let it go?

Catfish Pond

Catfish Pond is a pond that I go fishing in. They  have frogs and fish.

I went their with my friend griffin and I only got 7  fish.  Then I just went to the side of the lake and dropped my fake bait and my hook in the water and something grabbed it so i just yanked it and their was a  catfish at the end of it and I think griffin was mad because he wanted a catfish. I thought that griffin and my self were going to be there but then we had to get my brother and griffins brother. But it was kind of fun with more people and I just couldn’t get more fish.

Then their was the time were my uncle took me and we didn’t catch any thing but we still had a great time and we talked for a wile and it was my first time fishing their at the pond and the first time ever fishing. Anyway we had a fun time and he said I was pretty good and that he will take me next year and he did. He also said he wanted to go ice fishing with me but he never went with me or did he go by himself.

There is one thing that I always saw at that pond and it was the swing. I loved the bench swing. It was green,cracked and I still liked it. I went on it when I was three years old and when I was ten years old. It looks like it was their fir a couple years but its 2011 and still standing. I don’t want them to take it down but I have no control of that. This is the pond and something that looks like the bench swing.

 I love this pond so much I would go there to fish every day!!!!!!!!!!

Explicit Songs

Explicit songs are a disturbance  to some people and a disturbance  to some neighborhoods say, at a local party. Kids are free to listen to explicit songs on a computer, i Pad,  i touch or any thing that has Internet. Most rappers swear and I think that’s wrong because a song isn’t better when it has a swear in it. I’m not saying don’t listen to rap because there is a choice,  explicit or clean. I love rap music but I like clean rap. I don’t want to listen to music  and here beep this and beep that the whole song.

I think there should be a child block on certain songs and when a kid purchases a  CD  a parent should watch out  for the advisory sticker. This way kids will not hear what they aren’t supposed to hear. All the songs on my I pod are clean and some songs are just plain songs with no swears to start with.The most horrible song  I have ever heard is Kim by Eminem. I heard it at a friends house when we were looking for random songs, Again on the computer. It was only good for 6 seconds. Then it was a song of  torcher. Explicit songs are called how they are said, wich is bad.

I just cant stand how wrong it is. At first I thought a rap was to express your feelings and to have something to rhyme with. I looked it up and the meaning of rap is rhythm and Poetry . I also herd a song called Rappers Delighthttp://www.metrolyrics.com/rappers-delight-lyrics-sugarhill-gang.html. There is no swears what so ever and it has Rhythm and it’s kind of poetry. Why cant all songs be like this, it’s not hard . Why can’t you write a song like this… Its easy. Now I can get that off my chest, I can say that I have A good suggestion for a letter to the company that shows suggestions  

Just a few days ago I saw a five or six year old boy swear when he fell on the grass at the town park and when he said that I was thinking were he got it   from and It came to me … a song. It’s that or his parents swear witch I don’t think they will around their child. I do not want to here another explicit song, its annoying. Explicit doesn’t mean just swears its also what the people talk about and this kind of explicit can be heard on the radio and I have heard things about girls and killing and its just not okay to say this and some people get away with it and some people don’t . It depends on what they are saying and I can’t listen to my favorite songs because of this

Pit Bulls

Pit bulls

Pit bulls are my favorite kind of dogs. They are mean looking, but also nice.

Some people say they are mean and attack everyone. But that is because their owner trains them to and if they don’t the owners beat them. I really think people should stop thinking this because its wrong. I saw a tan and white pit bull at the SPCA. His name is Tyson and he is very cute. He had a sign on his kennel that said ” I wont hurt you i’m just scared.”

Any way, I really want to save that pit bull at the SPCA but my dad is one of those people that think they are a bad dog. I cant blame him if he is judging by looks and I hope he is not. I think they are in second place for strongest dog in the world. I was going to start a charity but it would Just fail. I would give the money to this place were they keep unwanted pit bulls and they feed them and take care of them. I will admit, they can be wild some times. I am not allowed to have a pit bull in the house that I live in now so I will have to wait until I am 18 and find an apartment that  actually lets pit bulls in.

That’s right. Pit bulls are so hated in some places, they have signs that say no pit bulls allowed. I think that is wrong because I went in one of those buildings and I saw a boxer in the hallway barking his lungs out. A pit bull will just stand by their owner. I know that there are some things said about them but if they attack its because people use them as guard dogs and train them to attack. It should be a law that you can not use pit bulls for unnecessary attacking. And if you do you should be put in jail for a good amount of  weeks.I’m not saying you cant use dogs for guarding but you use one for atacking whats the point. I don’t have any thing el’s to say so here is the sign and the dog.WARNING The link is of a pit bull attack and the police know it is the owners fault and may be disturbing to some people.

Bows and Arrows

I have a big interest in bows and arrows . no. I don’t hunt. I’m only ten. Then there is the steps. Really,STEPS!!!

There are a lot of steps so I will just go into the basic ones after I show you what you need:

• A good bow-  A good bow is the most important thing to have. My bow is a compound bow, there is recurve,compound,long,reflex,self,straight and composite bows.
• Arrows-  Arrows are your ammo and I recommend carbon or fiberglass because wood is not accurate neither is tin.
• Pull pad-  Two kinds of pull pads are the leather ones that go over the three fingers, thats for any bow and the one you pull back and has a trigger witch is for a compound bow. The pull pad keeps you from getting blisters.
• Arm pad-  The arm pad protects you from the arrow when released. Don’t want one. Well lets see how that comes out in the hospital.
• String-  You probably know where that goes but there are wire,rope,fiber, and horse hair strings.

steps:

1. Have the nock of the arrow on the bow string ( back of the arrow )
2. Pull the arrow back a little so that your index finger is on the top of the arrow and your middle and ring finger are on the bottom of the arrow.
3. look at one spot on the target the whole time
4. When you go back to shoot, pull the arrow and push the bow at the same time
5. Pull arrow back to the corner of your lip.
6. Steady the bow until you have control for five seconds or more.
7. look at one part of the target that you want to shoot at.
8. let the arrow slide off your fingers
9. Wooooooooooossssshhhhh                       HIT!!!

If using a compound bow you do the same thing but you have a sight. Only arch your bow if you know the arrow will not go straight to the target.

My Things

• Two Compound bows
• Leather pull pad and trigger pull pad
• Carbon arrows and aluminum arrows
• Regular arm pad
• Fiber ( rope ) and wire string

I used to have a fiberglass bow but they aren’t so good.

These are the bows I have now.

Compound Bow 1280765989.jpg

I love my bows. The compound bow on  the top link is a little different because the wheels are bigger than mine. Bows can be shot without pads but you can really get heart. I made my (own) rule that you should make sure that no one is in front of you when you shoot. I have a friend named C.J. and he uses my rule. I don’t recommend a compound  bow as your first bow. Kids with a normal pull of 30lbs should start with a 22 pound pull . if your pull is 15lb pull you should start with a 10 pound bow. So no matter what your strength is, just go down a few pounds so you don’t pull a muscle.

You can pull a muscle in many different ways, such as by not listening to how hard your pull is and saying ” I am strong I can get a big pull weight.” I started with a pull strength of 7 lbs and now  I am a 30 pound pull back. Also. You can pull a muscle by shooting a bow for a week and then waiting a week and then shooting it again be cause you cant do something and let your muscle rest and then all of a sudden use it.

The muscles and tendons you use when shooting  a bow:

Arm holding the bow

• Pull back arm.
• Deltoid
• Biceps

Arm pulling back on the string:

• Pectoralis major
• Obliques
• Anterior forearms
• Flexor tendon sheath
• Abductor pollicis brevis
• Flexor pollicis brevis
• Opponens pollicis
• Flexor digitorum superficialis

As you can see there is a lot of muscles and tendons. I cant tell if I got them all but I am pretty sure I did. I know for a fact that when you use a bow a lot you will use muscles that you have never used before, and I think I have been getting stronger and I got better at  just eyeing at a target without a sight. So bows can make you good at a lot of stuff.

If you want to, I am not saying you have to, get a bow for $27,$40 or $90 dollars at Walmart or online.I have their $40  one and I use it a lot. So if you want one here is a link for the online bows.

http://www.walmart.com/ip/Crosman-Elkhorn-Jr.-Compound-Bow-Right-Hand-Use-Only/10248643?findingMethod=rr

They are pretty good bows.

If you looked at the blue bow after I listed what I have, I got it for $20 and it was a $200 bow. I also go to a store called Big Al’s Archery located in 146 Lafayette Road  Seabrook, NH 03874-4510
            (603) 474-3575      . It is a very good store and it is a little to high in its prices for me but maybe not for you. So I do recommend going there for your stuff.

So I think all I have to say now is get out there and shoot!

I think I can say that
