Date Night: Archery

A while back, I bought a deal on Groupon that was supposed to be a Valentine's Day gift. After many scheduling conflicts, Ricky and I were able to get together one Saturday in May (3 months later!) to take advantage of this deal!

We both like trying new experiences, so I knew he'd enjoy this!

I'm always looking for interesting and unique date night ideas. Here's one that was pretty challenging and enjoyable!

Boss Archery  has an indoor shooting range for beginners to experts. We found a deal on Groupon (again!) and headed out to Concord, NC.!

The owners, Clyde and Jean, have many years of experience in archery, and are quite friendly! Clyde taught us how to handle the bow, and gave us tips on shooting with accuracy. Jean was as sweet as could be, and cheered us on!

Our lesson was about 30 minutes long, followed by 90 minutes of practice. Jean was there to help change the targets and to give us tips (such as a "keep your elbow UP!")..

And surprisingly, I didn't shoor the floor, lol!

If you're looking for something unique to do in the Charlotte area, give this a try! We had a little wager going on to see who would hit the most targets.... and he's buying me dinner next weekend!
