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*
