拉古纳伍兹射箭俱乐部

俱乐部信息

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.

快来了解一下，或许可以尝试一下。你或许很快就会觉得射箭不适合你，又或许会对这项挑战身心的精准运动充满热情。每一次射箭都是一种“禅”境，无论旁边是否有人射箭。

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.

我们的会员们来这里既是为了享受独处的乐趣，也是为了与其他爱好者的陪伴。射箭并非一项团队运动，但当我们聚在一起，分享对这项运动的热爱，交流射击知识，互相尊重，并为射偏而欢笑时，我们确实感受到了团队的凝聚力。

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