Bullseye : Another case for Sport

Below is a CS bulleted Blog. A classic Chris method format, much like him speaking in the third person. Typical in that this time of year tends to be the busiest and getting meaningful bulleted thoughts out on the page is favored to lengthy paragraphs. Or getting nothing out at all. I’ll get better.

Nevertheless, I am ecstatic for the team pulled off another long awaited vision — this one, AKA Bullseyes for Bucks, #BfB, has the legs to go for many years and to promote sport in a positive light.

AKA BULLSEYES for BUCKS ARCHERY TOURNAMENT AND FUNDRAISER

  • First AKA Archery Tournament

  • First AKA Event since 2019

  • 60 archers (AKA After School Archer scores on events page)

  • 2 Town School Clubs represented - Foley & Cambridge-Isanti

  • 2 Supporting Partner Vendors - Fishing for Life and the DNR’s Wall of Shame Exhibit

  • Thank you Scheels and all of our Sponsors and Donors for your support.

  • Thank you NASP - National Archery in the Schools Program - for helping set up and oversee the event and for your help and resources in promoting this growing sport.

  • A big thank you to Amber and Tim and all the Foley Archery participants and parents for all your help and for showing us the way!

  • A shout out to Individual Sport participation (better blog to come).

  • AKA Drew Metz and Intern Blake Milkowski for working hard and setting this all up, Matt Gallagher for the video and photos, and to all of our helpful staff and volunteers.

  • And lastly, to my friend and mentor, Jack Wachlarowicz, Mr. W, our #BfB head tournament official and AKA Outdoors aficionado, thank you Jack.

    It was 2013, almost 10 years ago to the season, working together for the first time while putting on an AKA Archery Exhibit for a Spring Carnival in West St. Paul, where I quickly developed a vision for an archery event much like #BfB.


    And here we are. Thank you everyone for your help and participation. I am enthused for us pulling this off and providing new and engaging opportunities for kids in sport. I blogged about it last May as well. The goal here is to get more kids into outdoor activities and recreation and with our first go at AKA Bullseyes for Bucks Archery Tournament, I am proud to say it was a success!


    And now on to the big stuff….. Summer Camps 2023!
