“Being able to shoot at worlds, meeting archers from different countries, has been amazing,” commented Kelly.
“I have made a lot of friends from across the country because of archery.”
Kelly has been shooting in the Iowa Games for three years, winning a Gold and Silver medals, and he loves the atmosphere the Games provide. He is able to shoot outdoors versus the indoor shooting venues which he is used to.
