Archery ranges have whistle commands that help maintain order among the archers. Here are some of the whistle commands. These girls call them "tweets".

• Two tweets: archers may approach the shooting line.
• One tweet: archers may begin shooting.
• Three tweets: archers may retrieve their arrows.
• Four or more tweets: All archers must stop shooting immediately and put their arrows away.

TWEET!

Aiden and his friend, Luke, are participating in the after-school archery program at our local parks and rec center. They both have experience with shooting recurve bows. They are receiving detailed instruction on safety, regulations, and proper form when shooting. They had their first tries with a compound bow yesterday. Although Aiden is confident in shooting, he actually saw his weaknesses yesterday and came home with some homework. This one-month program will prove useful in solidifying the safety rules and empowering him with more experience. I can't wait to witness the growth!
