[Ansteorra-archery] Children's Archery

[Bogue, David (Houston)]

Do you see any possibilities in special needs kids getting out there on the archery range?  Age restrictions aside, just their ability's?

I agree that there are areas and groups that do pretty good. One thing that I have noticed is that we have MANY MANY kids (under 11 or 12) but that we do not have as many that are older than that. I know our son Baldo was pretty good archery and was shooting but once he hit about 14 the SCA was no longer "Cool" so he did not want to do it anymore:-( I think this happens with many of the kids in the SCA. One thing that had been discussed before and they recently setit up for IKAC and I believe we can now make it an option on the RR is to have both children (10, 15, 20 yards with timed at 10 yard) and a youth division that is 15, 20, 30 with a timed round at 15 yards. This MIGHT help or it might now. If it is available for us to use we should consider using it and making it available.

I may be getting ready to step in it, but I know several baronies that have had a youth program for many years. Admittedly there are rather few participants and I agree we can do  more to recruit the children. On the other hand we have quite a few wee folk participate in archery at the events I frequent. I think local marshals are doing a pretty good job though and I would like to give them props for all they are doing to bring in new blood.
