National Archery in the Schools (NASP) State Tournament at Ben Avery

Saturday, March 19 (next Saturday) is our annual National Archery in the Schools (NASP) State Tournament at Ben Avery. We have more than 300 youth archers registered for the event plus their parents and / or chaperones. They will be shooting both target archery and many shoot 3D animal targets.

We would like to extend and invitation to any organization or group, especially archery hunting groups, that would like to setup a booth or trailer to do any outreach and education about your programs and outdoor activities. This is a great opportunity to recruit a new participant and provide the Next Step of the Adoption Sequence to develop new hunters / anglers and wildlife conservationists and members of your organization.
