Hello Archers!
I wanted to post an update about archery. As you know, tonight is practice! It is also going to be a warm one with temperatures in the 90s and the heat index close to 100F. Please make sure that your archers are getting enough liquids *before* and during archery practice. If the archer arrives to practice and/or a tournament dehydrated and then gets into that heat, the chance of heat stroke is greatly increased. Make sure they drink plenty of water before practice.
For another comfort tip, feel free to bring chairs to archery practice. Resting even for the few minutes in the shade of the trees before pulling arrows can really help rejuvenate the archers.
