Kyudo, Japanese longbow archery, has a long tradition in Japanese history in both militaristic and ceremonial venues. Today's Kyudo is a non-competitive, introspective process to shooting that helps to focus one's mind and body on the simple act of shooting a bow. Parent participation is required for those under fifteen years old. Visit www.mnkyudo.org for more details about kyudo and the instructors. There is a $35 membership fee into the Minnesota Kyudo Renmei when shooting begins. Practice bows ($25) are also for sale - they are optional, but recommended. Loaner equipment is provided for most adults.
