Our next adventure....... a trip to the archery range

My good friend Karin had told me that we have an archery range here in town almost a year ago. I thought it would be great fun to go, but just kept forgetting about it on weekends that we have had free.

I saw an ad in the paper that reminded me that they are open every saturday, and I decided I better get it on the calender this time. Allen had a lot to do since he got home late Friday night, so off I went on another adventure with Jayden and Kelsey.

The archery range was a small, not so flashy place nessled in the hills of a canyon road. Despite the lack of decor, it was a tremendous deal and I highly recomend it to all of you locals looking for a fun family activity to do on a Sat. morning. It only cost three dollars each and included all the equiptment they needed for four hours of fun!

They tested the kids when we arrived to find which eye is dominant to know which hand to shoot with. To my surprise, my lefty was right eye dominant, and of course, my righty had to shoot left. This was a bit of a challenge for the kids because they had already tried archery at cub scout day camp and had each shot opposite.

The only down side of goingto the range this Saturday was that they announced that it was the largest attended Saturday ever. Go figure that out of all the weeks for the last year that I have known it exists, I choose that busiest! Just my luck. Even though it was busy, the kids still got some private instruction from the coach and they were happy with the amount of times they were able to shoot. We are looking forward to going back and this time I will shoot too and not have to worry about getting photos.

Jayden even managed to shoot two bulls eyes despite switching shooting hands. He is a good aim! It is hard to see, but his little arrow is right in the bullseye in this photo.
