Default RE: Thoughts on FBH

The FBH is a class for the pure enjoyment of the children. The class is set up with the best intentions and the enjoyment of each child can not be predicted. Overall the class can only be monitored and changes made based on each new expierence. I believe that each phase of the FBH shoot is about as basic as it can be and still have any structure.

The parents of the participants are the most influencial part of the shoot. They alone can can determine whether or not the child is ready to handle the expierence mentally as well as physically. Learning to accept disappointments as well as accomplishments has to be taught prior to any undertaking such as shooting a bow. Safety is the first thing that has to be taught and then each parent has to determine when children are ready to participate, based on how well they can mix and participate.
When a child graduates to the next level at what ever age, they decide to continue and accept the rules and the wins and losses are a part of the game. The IBO can make available the games but how the individual archers play the game is strictly and individual thing which at that young age is the side of their character that they must learn at home.
Lets try to make it an enjoyable expierence for all the kids and hope that every kid can learn something that will benefit them in the future.
