If he hadn't entered Fort Bliss, Texas, Warrior Transition Unit, Master Sgt.
(Ret.) Shawn ''Bubba'' Vosburg would have never discovered adaptive sports.
Nor would he have found his love of archery. ''Without sounding overly
dramatic, it saved my life,'' says Vosburg. ''It gave me a new way to serve
and mentor others.''
Archery enables Vosburg to focus. ''It's an amazing thing,'' says Vosburg,
''It's just you and your bow. It's the same thing with the rifle.''
In addition to archery and shooting, Vosburg, is also competing in field
events. His tale of discovery is a common refrain among wounded, ill and
injured Soldiers. ''It gives me a way to go on instead of giving up,'' says
Vosburg. ''Life goes on after injury and retirement."
