Archery - Bow and Arrows

What do we do when Covid 19 restriction eases? Shoot some targets!

The BLIA WA Scouts group were out in full force to learn this ancient art of archery! Under the careful guidance of the Scouts WA Mobile Archery Range (MAR) team, our youths learnt how to handle the bow and arrows... in a coordinated fashion under the spritz of the whistle. With each command, the youths stood up to the line, held their bows and on another whistle, the frenzy begins..

Youths were fumbling to attach arrows whilst some were already getting shots off and there are others just hitting it dead on. It was a sight to behold with the youths seemingly knowing what they needed to do albeit with a little coaching from the expert handlers. I stand in awe and wonder if archery had ignited primal instincts and desires to use a bow and arrow..
