Activity Description
For a test of skill, dexterity and a quieter way of hitting a target, archery is an entertaining way of spending some time. Archery is ideal to complement the more energetic activities and is available all year round in an indoor range, so the weather need not be a deterrent. Your instructor will carefully show each person how to use bow and how to stand and sight correctly before being allowed to start a competition . This is a popular activity and can become quite addictive, as there is always room for improvement.
