30 Photos Project - hands
While at the Ag center last evening, members of the 4-H archery group were practicing. I didn't want to get the young man's face, so shot him from the back so only got one hand.
@grammyn Thank you Katy. This guy was good. There were about 3 teens there when we got there.I couldn't figure out why they were doing that there until I started chatting with one of the mothers and found out they were 4-H.
Wow- I think it was a creatively wise choice- I like that you can't see the face. You can still see the concentration it takes to make a shot in the way his arm muscles are so taut.
@grammyn The straps on his arm are a brace of some sort and not attached to the bow. The bow looks a lot like what I think of as a hunting bow, but it's probably a competition bow and I just don't know enough about archery to know.
@randystreat thanks for that explanation. As I looked more closely I realize the brace and the bow are separate. It looked like it was all together at first

Thank you Sue, Mary, Jo, Meg, Debbie, Carole, Ferry, Kali, Joey, Ann, Hannah, Wylie, Kathy, Brian and Jacqueline. It was fun to watch these kids although most left about the time I arrived with camera in tow. Of course they had been there longer than me so it was probably time.
@dkbarnett What an interesting challenge and one that I will have to think on. Thank you.
@grammyn I agree and I double checked it with a photo from another angle just to make sure.
