The session was then followed by Guilaine pointing out amenities block, evacuation area and first aid kits and introducing our First-Aid officer Tane. Tane gave a talk on traditional bows and demonstrsded the correct use of traditional bows. This was followed by que...stions, ‘show & tell’ of the different archery equipment, before going up onto the practice range for training/instructions. So much goes on behind the scene to prepare for a Beginners session.
