Title: My newest archery student during her 2nd. lesson
Post by: grandpawrichard on July 28, 2008, 08:19:31 PM: I have been teaching a wonderful young Lady the fine art of archery. Today was her 2nd. archery lesson.
Her name is Kiyoko and I am extremely proud of this little gal! :) She is an Awesome Student! She listens, she pays very close attention, she Concentrates Intensely and she devotes all of her Energy into making The Best Shot she can!
I personally think she is a Natural Archer that with lots of Practice and more Skilled training by someone more qualified than myself she could be an Olympic Gold Medal Winner and a World Champion!

Here are a few photos that I took today:

Here she is nocking an arrow:

Here she is starting to draw her bow:

She begins to sight down the arrow:
