A new year begins!

Jan 2, 2013: Wednesday, 6:30:
The Balloon Shoot, and "Knock-out" Games!

Note:
As we have entered winter weather, Sunday morning Classes beginning January 2013 will be discontinued, and we will hold only a 3:30 afternoon indoor session.
Sunday's e-blasts will review details, or, check this blog or website for time shifts.
Additional sessions may also be offered.

Wednesday:

This Wednesday, 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, sight-in 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 gold "9" 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 center Gold 10!!! (with what's left in your quiver)
(those Knocked-out, may begin practice for the balloon games, or scoring)

Balloon Shoot:

A game of focus, and handling nerves.
The object is to 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
