Archery at Camp America

2:46 PM on Monday 26 May 2008

Today, I was giving advice to a young gentleman on how to set up a shooting range for archers. This in order to work with children & perhaps young adults at Camp America. He also wanted to know the various parts of the arrow, the bow, & other information in relation to shooting safely. Seems he has been shooting for about two years, & then not a lot because of study commitments. This is fine, in as far as it goes, but what concerns me, is that Camp America could well be taking on well meaning archers without the experience. My guest did shoot a few arrows so I could watch, he did quite well for saying he had not picked up a bow since last summer. I just hope things work out well for him when he is there. The best I can do (have done) let him have my e-address, at least he can keep in touch for any questions he might have.
