For parents and other adults who frequent toy shops with
their kids, you may have seen the incremental innovation of the Nerf Gun. It started
out some years ago as a small handgun and some Christmases ago, I saw an
advertisement of it as a refined bow and arrow. Matthew was watching television
with me at the time and his exact words were “how cool”. That Christmas it found its way under our
tree. Needless to say all objects in the
house became target practice.
A few months ago I ran
into a friend who casually mentioned her daughter was doing archery classes after
school. I was not aware that this was offered in Trinidad and started
researching. There are five clubs in
Trinidad and Tobago and the Trinidad and Tobago Target Archery Federation is the National Governing
Body for the sport of archery in Trinidad and Tobago.
Focus and Self-Discipline
When archers make mistakes,
they are taught that the solution is to analyze their steps and focus on
improving one thing at a time. This is a great recipe for success on the
archery field, in the classroom, and in life.

Do you comfortable with kids learning this skill?
Are the arrows very sharp? This seems to dangerous to keep at home as part of sport gear.
ReplyDeleteI did not know there were so many archery opportunities in Trinidad! I'm very excited to take my little cousins (and probably try it myself).
