Meet Emily!
« on: June 24, 2012, 03:03:00 PM »
Emily and her brother had shot a little last summer and seemed to really enjoy it.  Her younger Brother Josh really took to it and always asked to go "Archering" every time he saw me.   :scared:  

That brings us to today.  wish I had more pictures but at least we have some.   :cool:  

Happy B-Day Emily!   :archer2:

Her bow is one that came back to life, you may have seen the thread I posted on it before.  It is a 30xx Ben Pearson Collegian. I thought it was dead when I bought it, but a little elbow grease gave it another chance to enrich again.

The first few shots she did well. they were pretty close to the target.  Last summer she was shooting very well but it had been a year.  So we gave a couple pointers.

Here is her dad

 

Once Emily found a consistent anchor, she was zipping Arrows into groups that you could get your hand around.  Plus her form improved all by itself!  This made me happy because I knew it would only be a matter of time before she was popping balloons every shot!

We shot for about a half hour then she started getting fatigued. She begged her father to take her to get a target and Quiver at the store later on.

But alas, being 12 she had other interests as well and her friend was over. unfortunately her friend didn't want to shoot and they decided harassing my dog was more fun.   :rolleyes:  

   

While My Dog was getting the treatment, her father and I had some fun too. He was a great shot just needs to shoot more.  No pictures though of my ugly mug but more balloons were broken.

   

   

   

We are all looking forward to the next 3D shoot. Young Josh will be with us "Archering" as well.

and Emily, well she now feels like Katniss, I knew it would come out sooner or later. Glad she likes it! Plus all the boys at her Birthday party were jealous, she thought that was neat!

If there's anything better than sharing archery and hunting with kids, I'd like to know what it is!
