On Target
Announcing Grant Shelton as the second place finisher for all K - 2nd graders at the Archery Contest he participated in last weekend with Campfire USA! SECOND! Signing up Grantie was an afterthought. The real archer in the family is Giles!
But so are lots of other 3rd to 5th grade kids out there, for G was edged out of the top three in his age bracket.
And Giles' friend who came with us, in the 6th grade level, placed second, for his age. Go Lane!
Giles was a champ for being ecstatic for his bro and his bud!
Grant is so proud to be getting a ribbon. The rest of us are in shock. The poor kid is left handed but right eye dominant, and that eye was dilated with a drop to help strengthen his other eye. This was also his first time to shoot real arrows at real bulls eye targets. Most of his arrows went under the target! The instructors were champs and very patient in helping him. So were the other archers behind his flight, since Grant kinda slowed down the entire tournament.
Way to go Grant. I should have taken more pictures!
Here's the second place archer.
Here's one of Giles' targets.

Who says Amblyopia will slow them down? Way to go Grant!
Archery is so fun! My sister and I owned our own bows when we were kids too and would compete at tournaments! I thought they only did this in Canada!!! ;0
