At the recent county fair the local 4-H Shooting Sports group had an archery tent set up. Kids, you had to under 18 and had to have your parent's permission, were able to shoot a handfull of arrows at targets. It was an attempt to spread the word about 4-H shooting sports and to try to get some more members.
This little guy, was the most fun to shoot out of everyone that was there while I was. A young kid, maybe 6-8 years old, he tried as hard as he could to pull the bow string all the way back, swiggling, and swirving his way, until SNAP! the arrow is in the air. While two of his arrows landed in the grass before the targets, and two others in the white "no score" area, he did manage, by some stroke of the archery gods, to get a bullseye. He left happy. All smiles.
