Nick Palacios

I currently live in Austin, TX but was born in Pacheco, CA. I am integrated in the local community through the board of directors for the Austin Archery Club; a non-profit, 60 acre archery range for target archers and bowhunters. The range has been a staple in Austin for 50 years and hosts dozens of tournaments and events throughout the year. Archery and bowhunting is something I have found a deep passion for over the past couple years. It's something that has enriched my life for the better and I've dedicated myself to giving back to the community locally and at large in any way I can. So others can benefit from the practice as well and start a tradition that will be carried on through their family for generations to come.
