Here is Jessica Heap and her father, who hail from Wolftrack Archery Club in Hanover, MN. She was one of the few to Robin Hood an arrow at the tournament. This awesome shot made one long arrow out of two of those pencil thin 1614 fancy Jazz shafts! Jessica is 11 years old and shot in Cubs Female Free Style.

A big National tournament like this is a mirror of the hundreds of archery tournaments held every weekend this time of the year. About half came here because, for them, it is a family event that they all enjoy. A sizable percentage come knowing that they probably won't be one of the winners in their class, but they love archery and this tournament brings them together with friends that they rarely see otherwise.

Everyone wants to shoot the best they can in the Nationals, but for most it is a contest with themselves -- as they try to beat their best scores. A certain group, actually only a small percentage of the shooters, come with the intention and the skill to walk away with top honors.
