מידע על המועדון

The LWAC invites all Residents and their non-Resident friends to attend one of our open ranges (see club schedule) and witness our members enjoying the challenge and camaraderie of archery, a precision sport activity. Many members take advantage of our range sessions, which are offered seven days a week, except on VMS-recognized holidays. Every session is supervised by our well-trained (volunteer) Range Safety Officers who provide a safe and fun environment.

It is through strict universal range rules and protocols that archery remains among the safest sports worldwide. An archer may not draw and release an arrow without first receiving the command from the Range Safety Officer (formerly called Range Managers), who is in charge of managing range operations.

בואו לבקר אותנו ואולי תנסו. או שתחליטו מהר שירי בחץ וקשת הוא לא בשבילכם, או שאולי תתחילו להתלהב מספורט המדויק הזה שמאתגר את הגוף והנפש. כל ירייה היא רגע של "זן", בלי קשר לשאלה האם אחרים יורים לידכם.

After all, archery is a sport and a martial art. It requires a specific set of physical attributes and a mindset capable of focus, concentration, and commitment; however, a person with physical impairment, whether temporary or permanent, may also participate and enjoy archery as well. It is obviously more difficult, but not impossible, as evidenced by our members who have visual and/or physical limitations.

Two of our (former) members were small-framed women in their nineties! We currently have a member who has a visual impairment. Yet, he shoots regularly with the assistance of a camera tripod for establishing a contact point for his bow arm and special markings on the Shooting Line to position his stance and body. His wife advises him where the arrows land, and then she retrieves them only after the RSO gives the command. Whenever she cannot accompany him, fellow members jump in without hesitation. We also have a couple of members who cannot stand on the Shooting Line, so they shoot while seated; again, fellow members retrieve their arrows when they cannot.

החברים שלנו כאן כדי ליהנות לבד ובחברת חובבים אחרים. קשתות אינו ספורט קבוצתי, אבל זה בהחלט מרגיש כמו צוות כשאנחנו מתאספים וחולקים אהבה לספורט, מחליפים ידע בירי, מפגינים כבוד אחד כלפי השני וצוחקים על הזריקות שהחמצנו.

We hope to see you at the range one day soon.
