Pulling the string of the bow back to his chin, Bryan Kummer released the arrow and watched it sail toward the target 15 yards away.

The 12 year old from Monroe was one of dozens of youths who took part in a clinic held by the Platte Valley Archers.

The eight-week clinic started Saturday and is for kids age 5-17. It was held in the basement of City Hall. Each of the youths had the opportunity to shoot five arrows at targets ranging from five to 15 yards away.

For some, it was their first time with a bow and arrow. For others, like the siblings Joseph Sonderman, 12, and Will Sonderman, 10, it was a way for them to practice their skills.

The Columbus brothers have been to the clinic several times before. They are following in the footsteps of their older sister, Olivia, and father, John, both of whom also are archers.
