And,

you know, we're not focused on where necessarily.

And it's hard for a kid, but, you know, I'll tell a kid that, say, a new archer, and I'll use one as an example.

We have one this year that when he came on the range and came to our range in, like, April, March, April timeframe, he had never really shot a bell.

At our state 3D tournament, he was fifth in the state in his age division and made the shoot-downs.

Wow.

Now, he didn't win.

So how do you work through that?

Mm-hmm.

You know, so as my kids got older and, you know, as I was out in the yard shooting, it was a natural progression that they're like, "Hey, I wanna go out and shoot with Dad." You know? And it, it, it started with a little bow.

My son's the oldest one.

You know, it started with a little bow, a s- you know, string and stick, so to speak, and, you know, progressed into him buying his first, quote-unquote, "real bow." And then as my daughters came along, it was just kind of the same thing They wanted to be out in the yard with Dad.

And at fir- at, I would say the first three or four years it wasn't very serious, and then two years ago, the club that we're a member of, um, we had a lady come in with some other young kids, and she said about this S3D archery team.

And she was wanting to get something going, and so I volunteered to help coach it.

I said, "Yeah, that sounds like, that sounds like a good time." I asked my kids, I was like, "Do you wanna shoot with some other kids and see how...?" And they're like, "Sure, yeah, let's do it." Well, I, I mean, it just f- as, as they say, it snowballed.

Mm-hmm
