Balloon Games!
This week, we will have the balloon shoot game along with the "Knock-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.(Advanced/Intermediate students will have a different set of rules if shooting the 9 meter slot)
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 one or two competitors are still standing.)
Down to Gold!!!(with what's left in your quiver)
(those Knocked-out, may begin practice for the balloon games, or scoring)

Balloon Shoot:
We will have two teams. Smaller balloons for any intermediate and advanced students shooting at 9 meters.
The idea is shoot YOUR balloon first, before a 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 new 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.
