Family Archery

As a family we do a lot of archery. Our daughter, Pheonix, has been shooting for over a year now. We bought her a new bow for her 4th birthday back in May and she loves it. We got her the Pink Nuclear Ice by Diamond. We took it to our friend (who is a paralympic shooter) that owns Kootenay Archery and he was able to turn it down to 7lbs and get the draw length to fit her. She shoots almost as much as we do, and we shoot just about every day.


Eastons first time!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



 



She competed in her first 3D competition at the end of May this year and she loved shooting the animal targets rather then the block targets. We had a release for her but she prefers to shoot fingers and although she has a sight on her bow she doesn't use it. She is getting better and better and hardly ever misses the target now. The picture to the right is of our son, Easton. This was his very first time. He also loves to go out shooting. He understands he needs to stand beside us while we shoot and when we give the go ahead he runs to the target and attempts to pull the arrows. He can pull Pheonix's but not ours haha.

We enjoy our archery and go to all the local shows (providing work schedule works out) . Kyle is the VP of the local club here and we both help do set up and take down of the shoots. Pheonix also loves setting up and taking down as well.

We believe in doing as much as we can as a family and
in getting the kids as active in the outdoors as possible.
