Group Introduces 40,000 Kids To Archery

Whitetails Unlimited, with the help of Realtree as a title sponsor, will have introduced more than 40,000 youngsters to archery over the past three years through the Kids on Target program.

Archery In The Focus

The program consists of kits that are used by youth, with a willing mentor. Mentors can be anyone including a NASP coach, a hunter safety instructor, or a parent. Each kit consists of two paper targets, the 10 commandments of archery safety, a certificate of achievement, and a custom medal. Brief instructions are also included explaining what the youth needs to accomplish in order to earn the certificate of achievement and medal.

“We consider the Kids on Target program to be our best hunter recruitment tool and really ties in nicely to the R3 initiative,” says Whitetails Unlimited Program Services Director Russ Austad. “This program is a tremendous stepping stone to get a child into the world of hunting and/or shooting sports.”
