Archery Is Hot!
Looking for an activity that provides exercise, improves math skills, teaches etiquette, requires focus, reduces stress, andd is -- oh, yeah -- lots of fun? Archery is gaining in popularity all over the U.S. in schools, recreation districts and clubs. The National Safety Council ranks archery as one of the safest sports, and it is easy and affordable to set up and run an archery program.
Two websites that have very useful information about this hot new trend in recreation are:
