Bows and Arrows for Fun

January 15th 2009 01:24

Orlando Bloom with his pretty Barbie tresses looked like he was having fun shooting all those arrows in LOTR and he probably was enjoying it. That's because archery is fun – and very satisfying when your arrow hits the target. Want to give it a go?

The Archery Centre at Sydney Olympic Park runs the Come ‘N’ Try program, a 1.5 hour lesson for $20. This price includes equipment hire. An instructor will go over the safety rules before you do any shooting and before you turn up in thongs, it is covered shoes only. Also, if you have long hair, tie it back on the day. Bookings are essential.

Sydney Olympic Park Archery Centre is located on Bennelong Parkway
Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday, 10am to 4pm
Minimum age to play: 10 years old

Other programs include:
Beginner’s Courses
Professional Coaching
Schools programs
Corporate programs
Kids’ parties

For more information, please visit the Archery Centre’s website or call 02 9748 7313.

Hi Amy,
It's fun, right?! Apparently, I look like I know what I'm doing with until I try to hit the target... ahahaha...
Thanks for stopping by~

I've done it, too! Pretty fun, though not so much if the bowstring hits your arm...

Hi Cib,
I agree - not so great when the bowstring gets your arm. I always have to put on an armguard no matter how hot it gets.
Welcome back from your holidays~

I have to agree, it's an off beat sport around here but loads of fun. Very relaxing (if you get past the frustration! *L*) Just watch out for the string.

Hello James,
You're right about the frustration! It's great when you get the hang of it though.
Thanks for dropping in

Rusty,

Always wanted to try archery and it is still on my list of things to do... the closest I have come so far is knife throwing and it seems my aim is pretty good... *lol* certainly cheaper thna having to buy a bow and all ... must be that gypsy blood?
