Goliad Invitational 4H Match
The first 4H match of the 2002 District 11 indoor archery season was conducted in Goliad, TX on October 10 and 12.
There were 92 entries with boys and girls from 5 to 18 years old shooting compounds, recurves and barebow. There were many personal bests and three youngsters graduated to the next level in shooting. Of particular note was Garrett Poncik’s 280 and 289 compound scores.
For those not familiar with our system, we let beginner 8-12 year olds shoot at 9 meters until they shoot a score of 250 for 30 arrows. At that point they graduate to intermediates where they shoot a 30 arrow round at 18 meters.
Once a 200 score at 18 meters is shot, they graduate to advanced archers for a 60 arrow round at 18 meters. To graduate is a big goal. In addition to the individual shooting, there were 5 recurve teams and 5 compound teams competing for the team awards.
Next week’s match is in Columbus, TX with the following week in Bay City, TX.
