Every day Archery is held second, third and fourth periods. The
targets are fifteen and twenty feet away.
In archery, several rules are very important. First, never go to the
shack or go out and get your arrows when someone is still shooting.
Also, if your fingers start to hurt, you can use a finger-guard or an
arm-guard.
Jim Goldstein, Ivan Cole and Barry Schulman direct the Archery
classes.
Awards are a big part of Archery, too. If you get a score of 80 ponts
or over, you get two awards on your fifteen yard target. Then you try
for 100 points at that distance. If you hit the target and the arrow
bounces off, then you get three points, but if the arrow hits the
wood and bounces off, you get no points.
It usually takes about two days for a beginner to get two awards, but
it is very hard to get your two awards and it is even harder to get
your 100 point awards.
Jeff Schwartz, David Stern, Bruce Fleishman, Jonny Rauch, Mike Feld,
Steve Rice and Mike Levine recently passed Archery awards.
One final thought -- "when you put the arrow on the boy, the odd
feather should be facing the sky".
