Renowned rapper and producer Dr. Dre has taken up archery, training alongside Olympic gold medalist Justin Huish. Known primarily for his influential music career with groups like N.W.A., his record label Death Row Records, and his audio brand Beats Electronics, Dr. Dre has shifted his focus in recent years towards personal wellness and his family.
Dr. Dre developed an interest in archery after watching Huish’s remarkable performance at the 1996 Summer Olympics, where Huish clinched gold in both the individual and team categories. Inspired by Huish’s skill, Dre has long wanted to master archery from an expert.
Since retiring from active competition in 2002, Huish has been instructing Dr. Dre and they have been perfecting his archery techniques for a number of months at a secluded range in Los Angeles.
In a discussion about his sessions with Dr. Dre, Huish mentioned, “He picks up techniques quickly, showing a real knack for archery. He’s committed and meticulous about enhancing his prowess.”
While Dr. Dre’s representatives haven’t officially commented on this new venture, those close to him suggest that archery offers him a way to unwind and center himself.
Though it remains to be seen if Dr. Dre will participate in archery contests or integrate this skill into his artistic endeavors, his followers are thrilled to see him engaging in new challenges and stepping beyond his usual scene.
Under Huish’s mentorship, coupled with Dr. Dre’s tenacity, the potential for Dr. Dre to excel in archery is significant.
