Sunday July30 Training: balloon shoot
Checking balloons and scores |
Two contenders head to head at 18 meters |
July 30 : balloon shoot/competition. Everyone, please stretch out, get your gear set up and select some balloons to blow up and put them in the big bag. The idea is to form teams, and shoot YOUR balloon first, before your competitor pops theirs. They step off and you shoot for theirs. If you shoot theirs accidentally-they win and move to the next round. Slowly one champion will remain.
July 24th Training, Score-set a baseline
(above-scoring held third weekend of each month, Canton indoor range, Big Woods Goods 3:00 p.m.)
Training, Scoring Sunday
This Sunday, we will score. Those that know how to score will do a complete round of 30 arrows for a base score. New shooters can do several ends to learn the process.
Please arrive a few minutes early, and remember to do the warm up exercises. Put your sight on the bow to learn where it is set based on the distance you shoot, and check the left/ right position of the aperture. Begin to know your distances and target face size by putting them on the appropriate target, and distance. (new students are at 9 meters, seasoned , or students hitting red or better 3 times in a row, move to the 18 meter distance. 60 cm face for youth. 40 cm, compound, tournament youth, adults.)
