County Archery Competition

Last Monday, our nine year old competed in the county-wide 4H archery competition.

He had quite the cheering section.  We had lots of family in town, including my dad and his oldest brother and sister, along with the rest of the family who live nearby.

His brothers had fun watching him shoot.

They shot both 3d animals and targets.

 There was even a dinosaur :)

He got a perfect score of 30 on this one - his first arrow bounced back after hitting the center, making all three arrows 10-point scores.

 The younger boys really enjoyed playing in the dirt and throwing rocks.

 We had to wait a really long time for the results because one participant in their class arrived late.  It was worth the wait though.

He won reserve champion - which is 2nd place - with a score of 208.  The grand champion in his class scored a 218.
