 Archery Range

Dear Tania Gibson,

My Name Is Harry and I think we should have an archery range in Greymouth because it will Improve our hand-eye coordination when you aim the bow and I know there would be a lot of people that would enjoy firing the arrows at the target. The topics of the paragraphs say the health benefits, The fun of having it, and the safety needed.

The first reason is the physical and mental health benefits of having an archery range. Archery can improve your sight when aiming and can help your arm be stronger when pulling back the tight string. It can also help you get fit when running to fetch your arrows. This would not be too hard to make as the target could just be a cardboard box and you would only need about 10 arrows and about two bows in case one gets damaged. We could buy all of this (except for the cardboard box which we could probably find quite easily) at the local hunting and fishing shop.

The second reason Is that it would be super fun and we could have archery competitions and just normal shooting. I know a lot of boys my age that would like to have an archery range   (as I quickly did a survey to see if they would like an archery range in Greymouth which all of them said they would) If we had an archery range I think It would be very popular among boys and girls. There is an archery range in Reefton during the A&P show that not only does archery but sells beautiful wooden swords, quivers, arm guards, Bows, arrowheads which are just hollowed-out bullets that you can use to make your own arrows and display arrows. The people that own it go to different places and could come down to Greymouth to teach people better techniques.

The third reason we would all need to know a common safety is: You need to make sure you don’t shoot someone on accident by having a rule that you should stay behind the person that is shooting the bow & arrow, To look before you shoot and the most important, Don’t damage the equipment on purpose as this affects the whole sport for everyone else.

Overall I think having an archery range would be a great idea, I accept that If you do not like this idea because It might be hard to find a place to do archery in Greymouth and that the council has better things to do other than stuff like this. If you didn't do this I would be fine since I have two bows and can still shoot with my friends when they come over but would still like to have it.

Sincerely 

Harry
