Diet Coke. I’m still bitter about the switch to Pepsi in the food court.

How did you get started with archery? (self.targetarchery)

Most people I know got started with archery because of a parent's influence. Bowhunters is popular where I live in Minnesota, so that's the way in for many. But my story is a bit backwards. I starting archery after my son developed an interest from John Flanagan's Ranger's Apprentice book series.

After devouring those books, my son wanted nothing more than to try archery himself. Soon after he started shooting and got involved with a local JOAD club near our home, I decided to give it a try myself. My son lasted a few years before his interests led him elsewhere, but I'm still going strong ten years later and have since started shooting in the senior pro class.

Are you training for a specific tournament? Let us know what's next for you.

My next event is the MAA/NFAA Minnesota State Field Archery Championship on July 8–9, 2023. Field archery is my favorite archery style, so I'm working hard to be ready for it. Fortunately, there is an amazing field archery facility a mere 10 minutes from my house and that's where the event will be held.
