If someone were to walk to the archery range, located behind the fields of Anderson Hall, they probably wouldn't expect to see this man teaching archery.

Its a very good thing they would assume this, because a reasonable person would not expect a fictional character and or movie star to teach this skill at a rural summer camp.  But our archery instructors, usually consisting of Sandy, Lincoln, and Mike T. could ward off evil creatures as well as Legolas of Lord of the Rings. 

Paper coverings of polyester-stuffed targets are soon ripped to shreds by the violently fast traveling arrows (whose tips are not razor sharp, but, for safety reasons, metal stumps which do a fantastic job of puncturing through the targets).
Each camper gets his or her turn at the target, each given 5 arrows.

   

And after their shots, they retrieve their own arrows, and hand them off to the next hopeful archer looking for a bulls-eye.
