Keep it going

Just when you think you've lost it all, life finds a way of surprising you. No joke. I've been shooting like crap for the last month because I started learning this new method, the BEST method. So my form had to completely change. I would show up for practice one day and the coach, Kisik Lee, or one of the resident archers would tell me that I was doing something completely wrong. So every weekend, I would be changing things around again, trying to find something that would please them but feel comfortable for me as well. Last night, I went to the shop I have been shooting at for 3 years in order to help out at the archery classes and practice my shooting. I probably hit the target only 20 times that night. I felt so screwed up. Today though, I had a competition down where the resident archers are and I was shooting incredibly. It was actually the highest I had ever shot for that type of competition. I was amazed. I ended up winning 1st place with a score of 640/720. Then Coach Lee tells my mom that he wants me to attend the Dream Team camp that was coming up in March. Only the best shooters who may become future Olympians are part of the team. I was introduced to Brady Ellison, one of my hero's, as well. Life really has a sick sense of humor.
