The Youth League
Friday night January 6th starting at 6:30PM (Practices at 6:00)
- The league is open to non-members so encourage some new kids to come and try archery.
- You and your friends can participate on a single night or sign up for the whole 10-week league.
- Tell them Sherwood has 3 youth bows and an assortment of used arrows. These bows (Matthews Genesis) have a draw weight of 15 to 25 lbs. and a variable draw length, made to accept most youth archers. Of course these bows will need to be used on a rotational basis so all beginners get a turn. Most kids have their own equipment.
- As usual we will be shooting at paper targets and 3D foam animal targets at 10, 15, and 20 yards, indoors.
- Archers will need at least 6 arrows, more is better.
- To help aid supervision, one Parent per two youth is necessary for safety concerns. Besides stick around the adults can shoot and score with the kids.
- Non-member league fees are $50 per archer or $7 per night.
- Member fees are half.
- This league does not provide formal instruction, but tips and pointers are offered.
- The league is more of a “for fun” and intro to archery.
- Scores are kept to show individual progress, there isn’t a top shooter recognition. Rather all youth shooting in 50% of the league will receive a participation plaque or trophy.
- The last night of league is the party with pizza and soda and novelty shoots (balloons, swinging targets, etc.)
Come join the fun.
Please let me know if you are bringing some new youth archers.
