Daughter & Archery - Gotta' brag, national rankings
National rankings were just released today from USA Archery. With Indoor Nationals and the Arizona Cup complete, our daughter is ranked 24th out of 131 in the Cadet division, that's two full age divisions above what she normally shoots. Almost as cool, her friend and rival Amanda, shooting one full age division up ranked at 25th.
What's all this mean? Not much really, it's just really cool to see my little girl being nationally ranked.
My daughter can deflate your daughter's soccer ball.

No, that means she's in the top 20% of the age division two steps up. Frankly that's phenomenal, I am a betting man and I think she will go extremely far with her bow.
kudos to her.

You're doing something right too dad. Miss M couldn't be enjoying such success without an encouraging and supportive poppa. Keep telling us about the good memories you are making with your girl.

It ain't bragging when you can back it up.

That's awesome. Glad to see that her hard work has been paying off, especially since she's taking on more responsibility on her own.

Well done.
You need to keep a copy of ALL of your threads. Then when the time is right, have them bound and give it to your daughter. Not too many people have documented such a journey from beginning to end.This message has been edited. Last edited by: mas4363,

I concur and have mentioned much the same several times in the past. But I don't recall ever seeing 2000Z-71 say one way or the other if this was something he was doing.
