Over the last several months my son and I have been increasingly active in archery at our local range with our local SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) group. We enjoy being outdoors and the camaraderie of archery, as well as challenging ourselves to improve our skills over time.

If only our career was so forthcoming with feedback. Archery is a challenge of constant correction and adaptation.
