Last class for the Saturday September session.
To finish it off, the class played shrinking target from the 18m with the added incentive of they could get additional arrows with pushups! This motivated quiet a few to stay in the game as the circles got smaller!

First class of "Beyond the Basics"
Todays info class was where students can learn about equipment that makes up what a recurve or compound bow consists of!
Bit sized info session so students are not overwhelmed in their journey of archery.

Next week is all about arrows!
