Hi Dave,
The National Archery in the Schools Program has a web site, it is http://www.nasparchery.com. It has all of the states and the contact people for each state out on the site.
For me I didn’t know much about it so I found schools that had it in use and talked to the administrators about the program. Then I went and watched it being done in some of the schools in my area. That is what I would recomend for anyone interested. See the young people shooting in the classes, talk to them about the program, better yet talk to some of the parents of the kids in the program. Then make up your own mind.
For me it is a winn- winn type of thing. I wished that I would have had it in the school when I was that age.
For me my opinion is yes it is teaching the young people to shoot and it gives them a plase to shoot that they may not have if it wasn’t for the program. I started off my bowhunting with a compound bow and that was the spark that started the fire in me for traditional bowhunting.
Thanks for making the United Bowhunters of Illinois banquet such a good event this year. You sure did a great job in your talks with us. Thank you from all of us with the UBI.
Tim
