Heath Getty of St. John, Kansas can shoot moving clay targets out of the sky with a compound bow.

It looks like he’s using Flu-Flu arrows to slow them down enough to get a good line on the clay targets. (and to keep them from flying into the next county!) Great video.

Egan, a 2006 La Crosse Central graduate and senior marketing major at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside in Kenosha, is trying to “live the dream” of becoming an Olympic archer.

But it’s not easy. Flash back to the early 1990s when Egan was growing up in La Crosse. Egan became interested in archery at age 7 or 8 and he wasn’t the only one in the Egan family to enjoy archery.

An accomplished archer, Watson is a member of the 2009 World Championship Team representing the USA in Korea this September, and recently was a member of the Gold Medal winning women’s compound team at the World Cup event in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

I am certain she will help us capitalize on a very good opportunity to grow the program.”

USA Archery has announced the 2009 Senior World Target Team, picked from the tournament right here in our very own Conyers, Georgia.

Best wishes to all of our archers and keep us up to date!
