The main hall is used for two days of qualifications on Thursday and Friday and then the head-to-head elimination rounds on Saturday. This image is right after the barebow women elimination rounds and just before the final elimination rounds for the men. The four archers seated at the foreground  are the Swedish barebow archers Erik Jonsson and Lina Björklund and the Italian barebow archers Cinzia Noziglia and Daniele Bellotti. They are speaking with Vittorio Frangilli, the manufacturer and designer of Gillo bows. Click on the image for a larger view.

Naomi and I have just returned from participating in the Lancaster Archery Classic. Lancaster, as it is known, is the largest archery tournament on the East Coast with 1,940 archers participating this year. It is also one of the largest tournaments for barebow archery, our discipline. This image is of one of three practice ranges archers can use to warm up and prepare for the competition. Spooky Nook Sports Center is a massive facility and was hosting more than this tournament; lacrosse, volleyball, and indoor soccer matches were being played beyond this practice range.
