The volley of arrows thudded against burlap and foam in rhythmic percussion. Then more thuds echoed throughout the event center at the Lewis and Clark County Fairgrounds after each young archer pulled back a bowstring to anchor, found the mark, and released.

The arrow placement told the story of who won the round, but the scores were far from the ultimate measure of success.
