My Archery

My History

I have been doing archery for quite a bit of time. But, like all things, I had to have started somewhere. I got my first bow as a very early birthday present when I was 8. My dad had hunted before, and he had brought in some meat one year. So of course, I wanted to do the same. So as my birthday present, he got me a compound bow.

As I look back on it, it wasn't a very nice bow, but I loved it. I practiced from time to time, and got better. It was just fun for me, so I didn't take it seriously. But as I got older, I realized that I wanted to be a really good shot. So I signed up for a team, and I have gotten much better since then. But now I made it here, to where I am almost a target shooter. It still includes the same amount of fun, so I will hopefully be able to hunt with my dad.
