Another wonderful group of new Coaches. My first solo Level 3 class went so well. The Coaches showed up prepared and participated in every task I asked of them.
It wouldn't have been as successful if I also didn't takeaway some new knowledge.
Our open table discussion was wonderful and every new coach participated with great questions and solutions. Everyone brought something to the table.
These folks are going to be some of the most dedicated L3 we have.
Made new friends who I will have an ongoing relationship with as we bring archery to a new level.

Thank goodness we have a great parents group. But, I want you to hear from kids point of view. Are you always encouraging your kids?

Our Archery De Mayo tournament was a success.
We had shooters from North Carolina all the way up to Northern Virginia and in between.
As usual Shelley Clark and Constance Walker-Clark kept the tournament running smooth. Thanks to Jessica Feldman for letting us borrow her metal detector to find those stray arrows.
Thanks to parks and recs for posting notice the walking trail would be closed. Only had one group of defiant dog walkers.
We finished the shoot with our famous 1 arrow shootoff which was a huge success and we plan to make it a regular event. It's a 50/50 money event where half the money to winner and half to the Virginia 4H Archery Team.
Everyone pitched in at the end to help us put up our equipment. It was a true "team" effort where multiple teams worked together as one. It was a beautiful thing.
New friends were made all around.
By far our most fun tournament to date.

Our Next Tournament is June 6, The Goochland Cup. We've had requests for trophies next time. I'll see if I can make that happen, $$, lol.
Enjoy these photos from our shoot.
