2) “Fan”: Each arrow shot from a different marked stake spread in a fan pattern.

Each stake at the same distance to the target.

3) “Walk Up”: Each arrow shot from a different marked stake at decreasing distances to the target.

Volunteer Work Party-Feb 6, 2016

 

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

 Volunteer Work Party This Saturday, February 6th

at the Balboa Park Rube Powell Archery Range, 8am.

 

After the wild, windy weather last Sunday, the Balboa Park Rube Powell Archery Range needs more clean up before the Flying Pig 3D Shoot on Sunday, February 7th. Besides cleaning up fallen branches & trees, we will be painting over graffitti on the SDA storage container in the SW corner of the range.

 

If you are able to help for even an hour or two, please send an email to SanDiegoArchers@yahoo.com for more details about joining the work party. Wear sturdy shoes, bring work gloves and safety goggles if you have them!

 

The San Diego Archers truly appreciate your help. Both archery ranges in Balboa Park are maintained by volunteer efforts alone. If each member (non-members welcome, too!) contributed just one hour of volunteer work on either range, we would have two of the nicest looking ranges in California. 

 

Anyone who volunteers at a work party shoots for free in their next tournament! Coffee and bagels will be available for volunteers.
