Saturday, April 4th, marked their last indoor meet of the season. They traveled to Albert Lea where Full Draw Archery Club of Albert Lea, Minnesota, hosted. Everyone was able to experience targets that popped up and others that traveled on a track. Moving targets are always a treat for the archers. Detria Broesder said, “Hope without aim is an archer without arrows.”
Their outdoor tournament at Mid Iowa Archers in Indianola on Saturday, April 11th, became an indoor 3D home tourney due to bad weather. They changed up the course and made some difficult shots. Out of 540 points possible, Karsyn Myhre got first in the ladies’ division with a 429 and Deitra Broesder was 2nd with a 416. For high school boys, 1st was Wyatt Schaffer with a 441 and 2nd was Corbin Darling with a 425. For middle school ladies, 1st was Emma Muller with a 417 and 2nd was Bella Stundahl. Brody Buscher won middle school boys with a 325.
