Has anyone taken this up?  I was kind of hoping we'd do the archery lessons again, only on a different weekday (Monday's are hard for us).

Hi everyone,

I'm retiring from running the archery group. Things have gotten
pretty busy this summer (fixing up the house turned into a hernia
operation), and my kids aren't interested enough in archery for me to
continue. If anyone would like to take over, just send me an email.
There really isn't much to do, and I'm pretty sure the Gander mountain
people would be willing to run a class come fall.

I was hoping on doing some archery meetups at Rockwood Park over the
summer, but I just don't have the time to set this up. I checked out
their archery range, and most of their targets are a good distance
away. There is one that is pretty close (around 15 yards), but it
angles downward so if you miss, your arrow disappears. The result is
that for novices some sort of stop (plastic sheeting? tyvek?) would
probably be needed behind the target.

Chesterfield County Parks and Recreation didn't know of any archery
classes at Rockwood. The SCA "Yarvid" archery group meets at Rockwood
park on Sundays at 2:00 PM. Their focus is on archery using period
equipment, but I believe there are exceptions for kids. It might be
possible to get someone to help out teaching longbow shooting, but I
just haven't been able to get out there yet.
