Archer Don Newell helps a visually impaired child shoot an arrow at a balloon Wednesday, at the Chinook Archer's range in Camas.

Archer Don Newell believes anybody can shoot a bow and arrow, even if they are blind.

Students from the Washington School for the Blind proved it Wednesday at the Chinook Archer’s range in Camas, by popping balloons and winning candy bars, soda pops and gold medals. Newell and other volunteers have been guiding these blind archers for the past six years.
