Archery

Before starting archery you need to set up the equipment . First you place the targets between two planks of wood. Then you choose your bow get your arrows and a wrist guard. Now you are ready for archery.
The targets are made of hay and paper and are coloured white, black, blue, red and yellow.The scoring areas have different values white is lowest and yellow is the highest
The bow is made of metal, wire and plastic and the arrows are made of metal and plastic which is flexible.
The technique in archery is to pull the wire back to your cheek take your middle two fingers to pull the string and release.
To keep safe in archery you need to follow some rules if yellow flags are up other groups are not allowed to orienteer and while shooting you are not allowed to cross the white line. If your instructor blows a whistle you have to stop firing arrows immeditely
