Finally The Tag Community Is Working WITH Me

 

It delivers a quick ego boost, as well; Archery Tag’s learning curve was surprisingly simple. After fumbling in the introductory round, dropping my hefty silicone bow constantly and managing to deploy only one arrow, I was in much sharper form in the second set, mowing down opponents with glee and sprinting into open terrain to grab wayward projectiles. (The game’s rules are similar to those of dodge ball. At the whistle, two teams race to collect arrows at the center of the arena, then aim at each other from across the field; a player is disqualified when hit by an arrow, and can bring an ousted teammate back into play if he or she catches an arrow.)

 

I do love dodge ball. When I taught in the 'snake pit' of a regular school it was the perfect way to get one's frustrations out on students in a legally approved way. Nothing was more fun than teacher vs students during some lunchtime rally. I remember once when a fellow teacher fell right in front of a huge kid. Like Goliath he lorded over my poor fallen comrade one second too long. I beaned him so hard in the head that I took him off his feet. I am sure they still are talking about it. I can imagine this being so much more fun. Shooting arrows at people would be more fun than fencing I think and I like fencing too.
