Ever wanted to shoot a long bow like Robin Hood? A Mongol bow? Crossbows? Throw spear and knives? Make bows? Strings? Arrows? Well, our archery and thrown weapons activities might be for you!
The Archery Marshal oversees the running of an target archery range for safety and fun. The marshal will typically have several deputies who oversee large firing lines, provide safety briefings to new members, and instruct archers.
