ARCHERY
By Bill Barenholtz

Archery at Timberlane this year is taught by Bill Clark and Bill Barenholtz, under the supervision of Tony Searle. The two instructors are able to have a close relationship with the camp archers, because of the small class size. This has created a situation where any archer, be he excellent or a beginner, will have instruction on the proper phase of shooting.
The archers and archery staff thanks goes out to “H” for purchasing three new target faces, new finger and arm guards, new bow strings, and seventy-two new arrows. This equipment has come in very handy as our more experienced archers can shoot with the improved gear.

In addition to shooting on the range, the boys have been taken out on the archery trail.

On the trail, campers have the opportunity to shoot at targets in a wooded setting. Later this year we hope to have competition with Camp Kawaga. In the past we have done very well in competition with Camp Kawaga. In the past we have done very well in competition. This year we hope to do better than ever before.

Archery at camp has come a long way since 1961. The present rate of improvement in our archers is tremendous. Every person who took archery first session received at least one award. This can be attributed to the work the campers put into their shooting as well as the fine equipment we have here at Timberlane.


DID YOU KNOW...that the only blue trim left in camp is on the back of the manor?
