RE: Do you play any games while you practise?
 

Being that I was a javelin thrower in College, I don' t think too many people would play that game wih me, but I' ll try and con them into it.

We usually play a game like pig or horse. no rangefinders. The worse shot gets the letter. It' s fun stuff that can lead into some very long shooting sessions.

RE: Do you play any games while you practise?
 

At home, I' ll make up some dart targets...and play some cricket.
Otherwise, take those old AOL free 1000 hour disks and see if you can shoot through the center without breakign the disk.
Another game we do...started out a game we made up for darts.
The game is called Patriot (for the missiles)
first shooter shoots 3 arrows. take a rubber band and go around all 3 (makes a triangle)
2nd shooter tries to get arrows inside of the rubber band (if playing at 20 yards or less...this can almost turn into a game of nockers). Every arrow inside the rubber band is a point.
After the 2nd shooter fires his 3 arrows...the rubber band now goes around HIS arrows.
To make the game playable with good archers...add these " handi-cappers" :
stand on a 3x3' sheet of plywood laying over an inner tube (tractor...or one used for water tubing, or sledding)
Shoot while sitting on the ground (not kneeling).
Time the shots (30 seconds to fire all 3 arrows)
add your own difficulty handi-cappers.
