Class plans: Balloon Shoot & Knock Out Games! 3 arrows
This week, we will have the balloon shoot game along with the "Knock-out" game. Everyone, please stretch out, get your gear set up.
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: 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 a few competitors are still standing.)
Down to Gold!!!(with what's left in your quiver)
(those Knocked-out, may begin practice for the balloon games)
Balloon Shoot:
All students:
The idea is shoot YOUR balloon first, before your competitor pops theirs. Once you have shot yours, you shoot for theirs. Advanced and intermediate archers (or white star and up, or with your own equipment) will select 2 balloons from a small balloon bag to blow up and put in the big bag with your symbol or initial. All others choose one from the regular size balloon bag.
Advanced/Intermediate students must shoot both their balloons, before proceeding to another advanced/Intermediate students remaining balloons.
If you shoot your competitors balloon 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 sign up on the doodle link so we have enough equipment and staff available
