As a gangly 15 year old at a now defunct sleep-away camp in Rhineback NY, I took to archery like a fish to water. More than nearly any other sport (except for my passion, basketball) archery became my go-to activity. Within 3 weeks after shooting my first arrow, I became the camps top archer in my age category. 

I look back and think about why I accelerated as I did at a sport I had no training in other than a camp counselors guidance. It would not be until I was 28 years old that I’d have a chance to revisit an archery range in Watchung (remember Bowcraft on Route 22?) with my wife. Her feeling was that my being steady-of-hand and goal oriented contributed to my skill in a sport in which I had minimal training. Certainly food for thought over the years from someone who knows me best!
