"My score went up, which means that whatever he taught me [has] worked. In fact, he is the one who drew up the schedule [that] I'm following. [When it comes to] physical training and shooting, I send him updates," she said.

After setting up her recurve bow, the only type allowed in the Olympics, Anwar points out that the costs involved in archery can make it prohibitively expensive for a lot of Kenyans.

"It depends on the level of shooting you're doing and [on] your budget. One can buy an affordable full competition set. I saved for two years to buy Hoyt, which is the best in archery. A set like this, which is the latest model, will set you back around 3,000 U.S. dollars, but you can get a full kit [for a] cheaper model for even 600 U.S dollars," she said.

Anwar measures her bow's brace height: the distance between the string and plunger button. It has to be the same every single time, and if it changes, it can affect the final shot.

Archers work in millimeters and a difference at the brace can lead to the loss of one point at the target, and that can be the difference between winning and losing.

She releases the arrow at approximately 14.2s/km and it hits the target with a soft thud. Again, Anwar draws and shoots. After six shots, she walks to the target and points to an arrow that has landed on a seven.

"This is a 10X, this is a 10. The former is better than the latter, but they're the same number of points. This is only for elimination purposes in the event [that] two archers' points are tied because they have tens. The archer with the most 10Xs wins."
