[Mark Olsen is] one of the premier archery instructors this side of fictional bow-and-arrow-toting characters, and his Eastern Archery Academy is setting up camp at the Seacoast Family YMCA in Portsmouth.
I love the thought of spreading archery in a variety of formats and venues. It sounds like this YMCA program is a great way to get archery exposure to families that may not otherwise be able to learn this great sport.
Olson is a Level 4 National Archery Association coach — that means he’s got mad street cred with the bow and arrows — and he has traveled the world studying under some of the sport’s greatest instructors, including earning certification from former Olympian and Korean Olympic coach Kyung Rae Park.

 Brandon Allison It is never easy transitioning from a compound bow to a recurve bow, but that is exactly what Brandon Allison did on his way to the Eastern Regional Intercollegiate Archery Championship.
“There are a lot of big things that are impressive about Brandon,” Pennsylvania College of Technology archery coach Chad Karstetter said. “He’s a very dedicated person. He decided to pick up recurve, because he knew we needed a recurve shooter for the team. It takes a lot to pick something like that up so quickly, and he’s really impressed me.”
Well done Brandon. Keep up the good work habits.

Here’s your chance to shoot life-size targets of all kinds of animals and maybe even some aliens and other creatures! This is not a 4-H sanctioned event. All youth and adults are invited to participate. Kids 14 and under can shoot for FREE, and those ages 15-17 shoot for a discounted rate of $10, $15, or $20 depending on if you shoot 50 or 100 targets and if you pre-register at www.r100.org for a $5.00 discount. You can also register on site. The website says that kids 14 and under have to have a paying adult to shoot for free, but we were able to have this fee waived. Also, I’ve heard that really good door prizes and awards are given on Sunday afternoon after the shoot ends. Please direct all questions to Adam McGinnis at 770-337-5430.

Our paralympic athletes (especially the archers, of course!) get my respect. This is a great story about one athlete in search of another Olympic dream.
 Archer Chuck Lear The 64-year-old Lear was in Yankton last week to train at the National Field Archery Association Easton Yankton Archery Complex. The outdoor archery season begins soon, including the World Championship trials on May 1, and he traveled to Yankton from his home in Lee’s Summit, Mo., to work with the archery center’s facilities coach, M.J. Rogers.

We know that archery is for everyone, requires skill, and discipline. It is also a great way to shed the stress of your job. I guess it’s a natural activity for our boys in blue. Read up on how these California officers are preparing for an upcoming tournament.
This summer, Hensley will take his archery skills to Southern California to participate in the Western State Police & Fire Games, the biggest shooting competition he has entered to date.
“I have no idea what the competition level will be,” he said. “I have no clue. I have no expectation to go home with a trophy. I am going for the experience.”
