ARCHERY
My parents were shooting when I was born and I have a patch from the 1958 Brown County Open. My parents were among the founders of Blackhawk Bowmen in the early 60’s in Yankeetown, Indiana. I began competing in 1963 and was the Indiana Field Archery Cub Champion (12 and under) in 1967. I continued to shoot until 1975 when I started college. After almost 40 years of not shooting, I returned to archery in 2014 shooting an Olympic Recurve. Since that time, I am the 2015 National Field Archery Champion and holder of the National Record for the Hunter Round in the Senior Division. I am the 2017, 60-64 defending National Senior Olympic Champion. I am a level 2 instructor and currently in the process of working with others to establish JOAD (Junior Olympic Archery Development) in Southwestern Indiana.

In 2003, they met Kristin Hood, and that began their love affair with badminton in the Indiana Senior Games. They have enjoyed working with everyone involved in the badminton tournament especially the seniors who have played. They are looking forward to seeing you on May 20, 2019, in Evansville.
Terry has left our earthly world and is at peace. Linda as a dedicated athlete and Badminton supporter continues as Badminton Coordinator.
