Taine has been doing archery for four years with the Franklin County Archers. It's exciting, because when he does shoots, there are 3-D targets and lots of different 3-D animals. Sometimes he goes hunting with his dad and his two brothers, and he has shot a goat with his bow, and a couple of possums and carp!
He has won lots of awards, but they are mostly certificates. He won his first animal trophy two years ago, and won a competition trophy last year. Taine was shooting against one of the best archers in his club who is about 40 years old. He felt nervous, and was excited and happy when he won.
Taine shoots with a Browning Micro Midas 3. He brought his bow in to school and showed us, because he had been reading about bows and arrows in his reading group, the Chocolate Covered Reading Bananas.
