On Sunday, 11 September, Helensburgh Girl Guides and a couple of girls from the Lugarno Girl Guides unit met to learn archery. This was at the Karingal training centre in Engadine. First, we learnt how to put the arrow onto the bow with the gold bead then to shoot it at a target.

I found it interesting because I never thought I’d get a chance to ever do it. Now I am with Girl Guides I feel lucky I got to learn just how to shoot an arrow. It was a very fun activity.

One thing that was funny was when the girls started to shoot the arrows so far you couldn’t even see them anymore! Instead of aiming for the targets they thought it would be fun to see who could shoot it the furthest instead!
