Rising to the Top


Our 4-H archery team went to the State competition about a month ago and we kicked butt! However, the conditions weren't all that great. It was pouring rain for most of the time. You know the weather sucks if, when you shoot, you get blinded by a cloud of water that just came off your bow. Despite the weather I think we had a lot of fun. We even had compound shooters shooting THROUGH the target at fifty meters. If you don't speak archery, that is not a very good thing.

To score the competition, they take the top three scores from each team and add them up to determine the final score of the team. The final score for our team was in the seven hundreds. Our individuals placed 1,2,3, and 5 overall. The second place spot's score was in the two hundreds. Our top two archers beat the second place teams total score. We are blessed to have amazing archers and very dedicated coaches. Plus, because we won first in State, we get to go to Nationals in Texas! We have some insanely talented archers on the team and I'm feel very privileged and God-blessed the be able to shoot with them.
