Free Activity #1-Archery


We borrowed a bow and long arrows from my brother; I already had short arrows. Since it was only my second time this year, we were only able to shoot a few rounds. It takes a lot of strength to pull back the bow. The disadvantage of shooting for free is that we can only use the arrows that we have. Bryce used the 3 arrows that my brother had and I used the 6 that I had. Custom arrows are expensive; they are about $40 a dozen. Also, my shots were really inconsistent. I could definitely use some lessons! Maybe I'll look into them in a year from now. :)

Saved:

$120 by borrowing a bow
$40 by using the arrows that we had instead of buying more
$5 by shooting at a free range
