Super Rewarding Experience

[DonBo]

Our archery club, Chilakoot Bowhunters, has held a youth archery league for several years now.  Last year, I took over the lead just because no one else was willing to take it on.  I had no idea how rewarding the experience would be.

We had about 60 kids sign up this year, from ages 5 - 17.  We broke these up into age classes, then moved some around more by experience levels.  Younger kids at 9:00, intermediates at 10:00, experienced at 11:00.  It was an 8 week commitment.

This last Saturday morning was the final day.  It was just fun shooting after 7 weeks of scoring. We shot 800 balloons! We then handed out trophies to all the winning shooters and finished the day with 25 pizzas.  Everyone had a great time and I ended up with more hugs and handshakes than one man deserves in a lifetime.

I'll let the pics take you through the last two months:

Love to see a good mix of boys and girls involved. I'll have to look into something like this when my daughter is old enough, still a few years away yet.
