So, my youngest daughter (8th grade) chose to go out for archery this year for the first time. It’s been a great experience for her.

Their middle school and high school team both qualified for nationals. So here we are in Salt Lake City this weekend.

Any others from IW have kids in level with the sport?

Yes. Atlantic is our town/team. Had 100+ kids out this year.

https://nasptournaments.org/schoolsearch.aspx you can search all the schools in Iowa that have teams.

Thanks. The school I work for supposedly has a team per that website but I've been there almost a decade and there hasn't been one in that time. Shooting sports is widely popular though so I'm pretty surprised archery is not up and running

Is this in Iowa? Haven't seen archery teams

For real...it's a pretty big thing. I know they used to have all kinds of kids shooting in Des Moines right next to where the Iowa Deer Classic was being held. I don't know if that is still a thing or not, but it was nice to see so many kids involved. Trap shooting has also blown up in Iowa in the last 10 years or so. Lots of HS kids participating in that too.

Which school? My understanding is that there are East (Louisville) and West (Salt Lake City) National tournaments. We chose to go to the West this year. I know they have done Louisville in the past.

Good luck!

Love seeing this. This is how I personally started hunting - we had archery at church camp. Liked it so well I got a bow to shoot behind house in town. Then found a place I could walk around trying to find deer ;).
I have 2 youngsters so I really hope they have some options. More youth exposed to this the better!!!
 
My son started the archery program at the school where he teaches, De Witt Central Clinton, two or three years ago. I believe he said there were 96 kids participating this year! The coaches, including my son, are all volunteers. I’m obviously very proud of him!
