The Company of archers of Huy, it is several disciplines. “The most common is target shooting. What we do at the Olympics.”Natural shooting, that, Hutois archers do not do. It is a course in the woods where we simulate hunting but on rubber animals. Another practice: medieval shooting, and that’s what the Hutois archers will be offering this weekend.“We take up the types of shooting and the traditions of the Middle Agesexplains Patrick Collin. It’s much more fun even if there is a sporting part because it requires a physical investment. We shoot at 250 meters.And then, the archers will take out the period costumes to clearly dive into those years.

“We will also have folklore with ax throwing.”Patrick Collin will participate but not with a bow in hand.“I’m the shooting captain.”
