Pre-season Practice and Safety
Thanks to everyone who participated in our pre-season event on August 23. A lot of climbing techniques and equipment were demonstrated and experienced. And we had some real, elevated saddle shooting practice on 3D deer targets. Thank you very much to John T Y for presenting a safety and first aid information, including suspension injuries, and stopping bleeding.

The Appling Archers began in 1997 as a ministry of Kiokee Baptist Church in Appling, Georgia, the county seat of Columbia County, near Augusta. The main focus of this ministry is to reach families for Christ. KBC is the oldest Baptist church in Georgia, founded in 1772 on the banks of Kiokee Creek.
