On July 28, 1941, Billie Carter, left, and Dorothy Axtelle practiced on the Tacoma Archery Club's range at Titlow Beach for the upcoming National Championship tournament held in Portland in August. Both women are Tacomans. Billie Carter was national champion in 1939 and 1940. She was helping 15 year old Dorothy, the current Northwest Junior Champion, hone her skills. Dorothy went on to win the National Junior Girls title less then two weeks later. (T. Times 8/2/1941, pg. 8)
