Day one of Archery saw the beginning of official practice. This allowed the archers the opportunity to work with their coaches to shake out any last minute nerves before the start of competition tomorrow, Tuesday Feb 26. Practice rounds consisted of individual practice and team rounds, which consists of two archers, one male and one female, alternating shooting, and combining their scores.
This year is team NWT first time in Archery at the Canada Winter Games and they are excited for the opportunity. There are some nerves, being their first time at the games, and shooting a team event. Good goals have been set by all teams, and they are all excited to see what the week will bring.
Tomorrow morning starts at 9:00 am, with Compound individual and mixed team qualifications. After lunch, the Recurve archers will complete their mixed team and individual qualification.
