December 23 : One Session only at 3:00, Balloon Shoot!

December 23 : This Sunday: One Session only at 3:00
Last Session of the year!!!We wish you and yours peace, and a wonderful holiday season.
Classes resume in January 2013 with a new schedule.
Indoors....Brrrrr
Please advise if you plan to attend!
Many students have plans to be out of town. We will hold the 3:00 shoot if we have enough interest.
Home page will post closed/ or Yes, Open, with balloon shoot. We will also send emails to those that signed up if not enough interest.

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.



The Balloon Shoot, and "Knock-out" Games!

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
