The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources Wildlife Resources Section (DNR) will host an Archery in the Schools (AIS) Program training program Dec. 2-3 at Davis Community Center in Davis (Tucker County), W.Va.

The AIS Program is the DNR’s largest and fastest growing education program. Since its inception in 2004, more than 30,000 students have been introduced to archery as part of their physical education classes in 150 West Virginia schools.

The program teaches Olympic-style, target archery in both public and private physical education classes.

I know that they mention “Olympic-style” training, however they aren’t talking about “Olympic Recurve” bows, just the Olympic technique of shooting, which includes shooting with the fingers, no peeps, target sights if any, etc. The archery in schools program provides the Genesis compound bows. These bows are excellent teaching bows that are compact, durable, and affordable.

At the Forsyth County Archery Club, we’re working on an article that features recommended Compound and Recurve bows for purchase by individuals. Stay tuned.
