What I'd purchase if I was just starting out hiking and was wanting to get gear that is quality, technical, made for hiking/active wear, and that fit into a tighter budget. Some of the items on this list may not seem like the most "budget friendly" options and technically they may not be but due to quality, durability, and manufacturer warranties/guarantees they are, in my opinion, worth the extra cost. As someone who doesn't like spending money, I personally am a fan of spending a little more upfront to potentially save a lot in the future.

Archery season is quickly approaching. Archery is a great sport for kids who aren't into mainstream sports, or can't physically do sports. In archery you compete as an individual, a team, or both... My daughter has been an archer for 6 years. Starting in 4th grade throughout high school. Which is nice because NASP has scholarship programs. Every archer, 4th-12th grade, uses the same style Genesis bow. You can buy your own or use the schools. She got into archery because she dislocated her knee, but still wanted to do a sport/activity. I remember feeling so overwhelmed when she first started. Not knowing what she needed, how things worked, or how to track her scores. Hopefully this list will help other parents starting their archery journey. *PLEASE pay attention when purchasing a bow which hand you need- LEFT or RIGHT*
