Archery World Cup ‘08 Video - Recurve Men - Italy vs China

Windy conditions and both archers made some bad shots where their arrows went into the 8s and even 7s. The “take away” lesson here is that they didn’t give up or become discouraged. They kept making adjustments, adapting to the circumstances and both shot well. Take a look.

Archer Profile: Samantha Pruitte

I’m a fan of Samantha Pruitte, I admit. We were planning on attending the fund raising tournament a week or two back but I came down with a fever the night before. I was really wanting to see her shoot, meet her father again, and help support the team heading to Las Vegas and Poland. Oh well, next time.

Samantha Pruitte

“I just don’t think about it anymore,” said Pruitte. “I just set it up, look at the target, draw back, aim and just pull it through.”

She doesn’t have too far to practice either. With the help of her parents, they built a canopy in their backyard, complete with lights and heaters, allowing her to practice anytime. But she does travel for competitions. She’s been all over the country and competed in Turkey in October. And now she’s raising money to go to Poland for the World Indoor Championships in March. not bad huh?
