The feeling I got when I nailed the Black Knight in the face was priceless. Target archery is WAY more exciting than it looks!

Thank you (all of you) for putting on this event. It was one of the best events that I have been to in a long time (and I've been to some good events). Finally being at an event where there was time to try archery was really awesome, and the enthusiasm and helpfulness of everyone there was even better. :)

Can't wait until next year! Hopefully I can nail the Black Knight more than once by then. *grin*
