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: Eight and better are kept and scored arrows are kept to shoot for the next round.Next round "9" and better are kept (arrows are getting down to one or two in a quiver )Down to Gold!!!(with what's left in your quiver; usually only one or two competitors are still standing)
(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. Once you have shot your balloon, you can go after your competitors balloons.
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

Please arrive a few minutes early to gear up, and sign in. Begin to know your distances and target face size by putting them on the appropriate target. This one hour class allows students to gear up & continue with training basics in safety and form .Coach supervised training includes recurve bow and all safety equipment. Continuing, ongoing instruction , accommodating various skill levels,covering: refining form, understanding equipment needs, equipment purchasing options, tournament rules, timing, string alignment, concentration, back tension.

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.
Wear snug fitting, layered clothing, ( must have closed toe shoes for out doors or can not shoot), tie loose hair back, and remove jewelry that may interfere with string release (usually bracelets, necklaces).
