ANNUAL EVENTS

Archery/Gun Invitational

The 2012 Archery/Gun Invitational was hosted by Escondido URC on 3 November 2012.  The event was held on the grounds of Calvin Christian High School (located just east of the church).  A few pictures show that it was a beautiful day and about 65 Cadets had a great time learning how to safety compete with a compound bow and pellet rifle.
