Archery Leagues

 Annabelle at leagues for archery. There are usually 10 spots and several targets labeled with the coordinating number. There is a scoring system for each target hit within zones. She gets three arrows for each target, therefor shooting a total of 30 arrows a competition. As you can see, she has a pretty good stance, which makes a huge difference in your accuracy. We are so proud of Annabelle who was willing to learn and applying what she's learned to competing. The back wall of the range is 40 yards. I'd say come watch, but she competes at 7:30 am on Saturdays. Insane. For those locals wondering where this is, it's in Shorewood at Strictly Fishing and Strictly Archery.


The poor targets!

Each round of competition has a bonus round. The first week
Annabelle hit a mock silver dollar at 15 yds. This was the second
week bonus which no one made, but her and another competitor
got close. Yes, that's a floating ping pong ball which was
 set at 20 yds. - CRAZY!

Loved ALL the photos, as per usual. Thanks for sending. I'm feeling really old seeing Annabelle so tall. She was an adorable baby, and she's hanging on to all that adorableness while growing into a young lady. Incredible! Love, n

Oh, and I should add what a pair Annabelle (with her bow and arrow) would make with Rich's sister, the sword-wielding fencing coach of Marian Catholic High! No kidding, google Sr. Dorothy Solak. - n

This is so cute. - Love, n
