CPW Sponsors ‘Archery in the Schools’ Program

POSTED BY

In this photo, Brooke Elder, physical education teacher, helps a student learn archery. Across Colorado, 400 schools participate in the  archery in the schools program sponsored by Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW).

he P.E. offering was brought to Colorado by the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) about 15 years ago. Colorado Parks and Wildlife coordinates the program and about 400 schools in the state now participate.
Besides teaching proper shooting technique, safety is a top priority for teachers. Students are taught how to pick up and handle the bows and how to load arrows properly. During class, teachers use a series of whistles that tell students when to pick up bows and go to the shooting line, when to pick up the first arrow and when to start shooting. NASP’s program describes an 11-step shooting process that teachers and students follow.

For more information about the archery in the schools program, go to the CPW web site at:
