Wisconsin State Shoot
Whale-Tales prostaff

We came up to Wisconsin Rapids, where the shoot was held, on Friday so for one day we could relax before the big shoot. On Saturday I was really excited to shoot. Since state is a two day shoot, and Saturday was the first day so everyone was scattered. On the first day I shot next to two adults. They were very nice and helped me along the way and gave me lots of tips. That day I ended up shooting a 285 23Xs. Even though I didn’t shoot the best I had the last week, I was still proud of myself.
The second day I was shooting head to head. Even though it was head to head, I still wasn’t super nervous. That day I didn’t feel that strong. I ended up shooting a 3 and I wasn’t very proud of myself. But it wasn’t going to stick in my head. The last couple rounds I had left I shot strong. That day I ended up shooting a 281 23Xs. I didn’t shoot as well as the first day but I still was proud. Overall I shot a 566 46Xs and ended up getting second place and lost by two arrows.
Even though I didn’t take first place I am still proud because it was my first year at 20 yards. I think it was better for me to get second because it makes me work even harder for next year. Remember always keep on shooting your way to bullsyes!
