Hey folks - this Thursday we have a bit of a theme - Kids vs Adults! Most of the questions will have a clue that helps Gen Z and a clue that helps the older generations. Even if you feel totally clueless about what Gen Z kids are into - you'll still probably have a good time. Writing some of these questions made me laugh out loud.

End of the Road Archers – Mountain Iron Tournament Highlights!

Our archers braved the cold and had an awesome day competing in Mountain Iron on Saturday. We couldn’t be prouder of both their performance and their character.

A coach from another team took the time to tell us how well-behaved, respectful, and courteous our archers always are.
That kind of feedback means a lot and truly reflects the values of our program.

Great shooting, strong sportsmanship, and plenty to celebrate! Well done, archers! 👏
