Learn About 4-H Projects: Bosque Bullseyes

This year is already off to a running start in 4-H!  We have begun practices, monthly meetings, and attended our first Archery Tournament in Glen Rose on Saturday September 10, 2016 at the Dinosaur State Park.

The Bosque Bullseyes is the name of our 4-H Archery Club in Bosque County.   They meet for practice on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month at the Clifton Armory at 5:30 pm.  This year we have close to 25 kids participating in the Club, and 20 of them already started competing with their attendance at the Glen Rose Tournament.

On Tuesday, September 6, the Club met out on Crockett Ranch to have an outdoor 3D practice.  3D Archery uses targets that resemble wildlife that would be found out in the open.  The target has a variety of rings on its body, and each ring has a different point value, the archers score is determined by which rings are hit on the target.  Pictured below is group who practiced at Crockett Ranch.
