Wednesday September Sessions underway!

Last week members of the JOAD and SOAD programs scored and earned rank and pins, and awards will be presented on Sunday (everyone did GREAT!)

This week, we will have the balloon shoot game along with the "knock-out" game. Everyone, please stretch out, get your gear set up and select 1 balloon to blow up and put in the big bag with your symbol or initial.

We will have a few warm up rounds of knock-out and start the games.

Knock-Out:

Strategy and skill as a warm up game... 3 arrows.
 

First round: red and better are kept .red scored arrows are kept to shoot for the next round.

Next round "8" and better are kept (arrows are getting down to one or two in a quiver ,and usually only one or two competitors are still standing.)

Down to Gold!!!(with what's left in your quiver)
(those Knocked-out, may begin practice for the balloon games, or scoring) 
 

Balloon Shoot:

The idea is shoot YOUR balloon first, before your competitor pops theirs.
They then step off, and you shoot for theirs.
If you shoot theirs first accidentally-they win and they move to the next round.
You will be out a round, but can restart shooting, independent of the game,
with others to create an underlying game.
Strategy is important.Timing is important.
Use the skills we've trained for in these games

ALL students, please head to the outdoor range from the back parking lot to check in. Do not use side door please!

Wednesday sessions are underway at, 4:30 for JOAD youth session and at 6:30 for regular open training session. We were again shooting distances outdoors last Wednesday in the wonderful weather. Join us!!
