Archery Tournament

A few weeks ago, Jonathan and Eric participated in a 4H sponsored archery tournament.  It was held at the 4H camp in Washburn.  We were the only ones from our club there (the rest shot on Saturday, we were there Sunday).  We were able to have our own group of 2, which was kind of nice!  The course was 2 miles long, and included 30 targets.  We made several references to The Hunger Games along the trail.

 A few of the targets had the kids shooting from inside a tent.

 Don't worry, the lynx is not real.
 Eric needed to refuel with a granola bar and some raisins
The boys both did well.  Each earned a silver medal!  It took a little over 2 1/2 hours to complete the course.  They were tired, but didn't complain!  Both agree that archery through 4 H is better than what they were allowed to do with scouts.
