Well, my frame fell apart right before the curtain opened on my act. So we bandaged it up with duct tape and Bucci's drill (he's a fellow senior but he basically runs the school :D). Anyway, so I was pretty frazzled and what not and wasn't shooting my best. People still clapped, but misses aren't that impressive!

So I go through: normal shot, kneeling, backwards (missed the first), foot shot, mirror (barely caught the target), behind my head... and then the arials.

The first was a 12" ice cream container lid. Big, easy to hit. But when the arrow smacked it everyone was impressed. Next came a coffee can lid, about 7". Same thing. Finally the ping pong ball. Missed once. Twice. I looked at the audience, smiled and motioned "1 more". Sent it flying:)

In the end I got first place. I'm just glad I actually hit that dang ping pong ball :D

No pictures, and I only have a video of practice at the moment... and it won't load on photobucket >:(

Well done Kegan,it would probably take more than a few shots for me to hit a ping pong ball. :)

Kegan,
That is really cool. I can only give you ideas about what I would do in your situation. I would consider taking the audiance outside and demonstrate how to hit the broad side of a barn !!LOL Seriously, good luck we all will look forward to the video.

Thanks everyone :). I gotta say, it was a bit nerve racking, but not nearly as bad as some of the other things I've done in front of audiences. I'd definately do something like that again, given the chance :)

Good work, Kegan.  I saw a guy do an archery show in school when I was a kid and I was really impressed.  Heck, look where it has led me!  Makes you wonder how many of your fellow students are some day going to be shooting bows, making bows, hunting with bows, etc.
