Stick and String

May 29, 2013
Archery is an ancient tradition and for centuries it reigned as a critical piece of survival, from putting food on the table to battle and warfare. Today, this Zen pursuit captivates all who pick up the “stick and string” because of the truth behind each shot, the lesson it provides to each person, and the essential connection to our past. Be it target archery or the stalking of wild game the mental toughness and focus remain the same; to be the arrow and deliver a strike to the heart of the target requires both strength of mind and will. Join us while we use these antiquated tools to further shape ourselves.
