Changing Lives One Arrow At A Time!
It started as a simple idea to teach kids the basics of archery as a part of school curriculum. But it has grown into so much more. The National Archery in the Schools Program has the ability to:
- Affect school attendance
- Increase self esteem
- Increase physical activity
- Translate into subject matter
- Appeal to all students
- Become an after school activity
- Truly change lives!
The NASP program teaches target archery right in the school gym to elementary, middle, and high school students. The curriculum covers archery safety, equipment, technique, concentration skills, and self improvement.

The Equipment The Schools Will Need:
A major part of the success of this international program is the fact that it uses state-of-the-art equipment. The Mathews Genesis compound bow is the official bow of the NASP program and for good reason:

-
It's simple to buy - no need to measure and fit for draw length.
-
It's easy to shoot - because the draw length is always right, the beginning archer won't develop bad habits caused by an ill-fitting bow.
-
Great for families - everybody in the family can shoot the same bow.

Perfect for schools, clubs, organizations - no need to worry about draw length.
-

Built to last - durable and tough, these bows can take the punishment that multiple shooters can dish out.
Students say they just love using this bow. To learn more about this bow visit the Genesis Bow web site www.genesisbow.com.
