This is certainly different if you're looking for new ways to test your archery skills or maybe just try it for the first time. Yeah, why not? New soul? Photojournalist mike roberts takes us on a road trip close to home. You know how they tell you to do what you enjoy. I spend more time teaching and doing archery than my other business. Now somebody was actually selling the business. So I came in as a partner because I really didn't know much, learned everything from scratch and here I am. I retired five years ago, I enjoyed archery when I was young. Let me get back into archery. I came here, I took lessons from jay. Our facility is a little small so we do recommend making a reservation. I was meaning to charge for a really long time actually, ever since I was a little kid and I don't know today, I was like, you know what let's accomplish this dream. The good news is if you need any extra help like me, they do offer lessons, you're gonna raise the ball right up to your shoulder height, standing straight. I wanted to teach people the correct way. Okay, so touch your chin. I like to teach in recurve 123. I think you get a better sense of what is the proper technique you have to try and figure out why or where you are and adjust so that you're correcting the errors. It's not important where you're touching, but it is important to touch in the same spot. I secretly listen to every single thing he says to you guys. I will attempt to beat mike the photo extraordinaire in this archery competition. Am I allowed to be critiqued in between shots? I'm like right next to you. Look at that, yikes, I'm sorry I have to win like 80% is all new people who's never done it before. They end up liking archery so much I like seeing improvement in my my accuracy today was my best day. I am going to be back for sure.
