Neil Kuntzman (r) and Cheri Houle (l) before the start of the tournament.

Kevin measured the initial distances from the shooting line to the targets.

That's what 90 and 70 meter targets look like from the shooting line - LOOONG!     Kevin and Mike overseeing the start.

In order to get 90 meters we have to set up the shooting line in the driveway and block off traffic.

I can shoot my longbow much quicker than compound shooters, giving me time to take pictures.

Neil is our club string-walker and he's really good at it, successfully shooting against compounds with his recurve.

The banana peel on the ground served as a temporary marker until the distance was officially measured.

One of the archers put one in the target frame.  Cheri looks on as the guys extract the arrow from the wood.

We decided to move the shooting line to the bottom of the hill to shoot the closer distance.

Even though we moved the shooting line down it was still behind the regular practice range line, seen in the left picture.

In FITA tournaments the target used for 50/30 meters is smaller, maintaining the level of difficulty.

Although I shot poorly I still had a few good targets - my arrows are the ones with the grey/black feathers and pink nocks.
