Program Description

The 4-H archery program consists of personalized and group instruction for all experience levels, including no experience at all. The program provides closed-range, instructor-led, weekly practices. Our volunteer archery instructors are certified with a focus on safety first. Archers learn step-by-step repeatable techniques used to enhance skills and provide a great foundation for a lifetime of archery enjoyment. The instructors provide positive reinforcement and encouragement using the Oreo cookie method of teaching (say something positive, provide guidance for correction, say something positive). The archery season starts in January/February and goes through August, culminating in County and State competitions. The competitions, which are not required but highly recommended, are divided by age groups and equipment types. Compound, recurve, and longbows are allowed. Crossbows are not allowed. Some equipment is available to borrow on a first-come, first-served basis so families can make sure their kiddo wants to continue before making an investment in archery equipment.
