Bright Future for the Archery Program
A special thanks go out to Dom "Rock" Rocco and his wife for manning the archery field for the entire day. Rock spent a lot of time with first-time archers which made for some very memorable experiences.
| A fearsome array of wild foam awaited | Rock instructs local Amazon Elyse Byrnes in use of the compound bow |
| Frank Richards had some pointers as well | Elyse draws the mighty longbow |
| Rock's office | A visitor shows good form. His son looks on and thinks he can do better than Dad |
| Didn't Rock tell this this guy he was supposed to have his eyes open? | Evidence of quality instruction by Rock |
| Rock readies his compound bow with draw lock | Almost ready... |
| Rock's handiwork on the 25 yard target | Rock displays proper arrow nocking technique. Apparently this guy felt a sidearm was called for during Rock's demo. |
