Balloon Shoot & Nock Out Games!
Last week members of the JOAD and SOAD programs scored and earned rank and pins, and awards will be presented this class.
This week, we will have the balloon shoot game along with the "Nock-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 "Nock-out" and start the games.
Nock-Out:
Strategy and skill as a warm up game...3 arrows.
First round: red and better scored arrows are kept to shoot for the next round.
Next round "8" and better scored arrows 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 Nocked-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 yours, you shoot for theirs.
If you shoot theirs first accidentally-they win and they move to the next round . You are out a round, but can restart shooting with others independent of the 1st game, to create an underlying game.
Strategy is important.
Timing is important.
This is a training game for handling nerves, and gaining focus. Use the skills we've trained for in these games!!
Please arrive a few minutes early to gear up and check in.
To participate , Please reply with the day and time selected in the subject line. and your name, right or left handed, and if adult or youth via learnarchery@yahoo.com if you have not already done so, so we have enough equipment and staff available
