NEW TAG ARCHERY KITISAHIT
All five Companies enjoyed their traditional weekend training camps in the run-up to the Christmas break. These weekends included the usual training in subjects such as First Aid, Skill At Arms, Drill and Fieldcraft...but, for the first time, the activities also included Tag Archery!
The Tag Archery set, which has been purchased from Non-Public funds, has been an instant hit. Similar to dodgeball, the aim of the game is to eliminate your opponents with specially-adapt-
ed 'arrows', either by scoring a hit or catching an opponent's arrow before it hits you. The cadets - and several Adult Volunteers - used a variety of tactics, with fire and manoeuvre techniques coming to the fore. Special mention to B Company's Cadet LCpl Tattersfield who scored a direct hit then, seconds later, caught an incoming arrow, thus eliminating two opponents within five seconds!
This new, inclusive, team-building asset is already very popular, and this popularity will only grow as even more cadets and adults take part in this exciting activity - definitely another' string to our bow'!
