Who hasn't watched a swashbuckler movie and become entranced by the sword play? Errol Flynn used to smile confidently while he thrust and parried as if it were merely a game he enjoyed. This August Lansing kids will get a taste of fencing in a two week course offered by the Lansing Recreation Department. It's being taught by Linda Wyatt, Prevot d'Armes of the Classical Fencing studio near Ithaca College.
"What we hope is that, by the end of the ten weeks they will know whether or not this is something they really want to do," says Wyatt. "We tend to attract people who don't have a lot of athletic experience, and specifically young women who read books that have swords in them, and they want to learn how to do it." Learning fencing turns out to be different from what they expect. "Fencing, is very unnatural," Wyatt explains, because your natural impulse is to cringe. "Everything you do has to be trained in from the beginning, and because of that people with a lot of athletic experience think they'll have an advantage, but they don't."

A few times a year plastic wildlife has much to fear when the LBH Archery Club holds a 3-D shoot. LBH (formerly Lansing Bow Hunters) attracted about 80 archers to the most recent shoot at their club grounds on Salmon Creek Road last Sunday. Shooters traversed two courses in the woods, each with 15 targets. "We have two 15-target 3-D courses," club President John Heuther explains. "Anything from skunks to elk. Small targets, big targets. Ranges are, depending on the class you shoot in, open is out to 50 yards, bow hunters out to 35 yards, women's 25 yards. We've got cubs who shoot 10 to 12 yards and youth at 25 yards."
