Default NASP Nationals

Nationals coming up starting tomorrow at boat and sportsman show, it's getting so big that there has to be people on here going or have kids going. Got my coaching certificate this year so get to be on the floor with the kids on Friday and working as a range officer on Saturday. Will post some results and a few pics Friday/Saturday.

My young lad shot yesterday, waiting for results after Saturday, I believe. Something like 2000 kids competing!

A grade 11 girl from our school shot 294 on Friday and as far as I know she's the new Canadian champ and record holder. a grade 8 girl from our school shot 289 as well. These kids are stepping it up, my daughter won the gold bow last year with a 285.

As Lefty said its National Archery in the Schools program. The kids can only use Marhews Genesis Bows with no sights or releases. They shoot 3 rounds at 10 metres and 3 rounds at 15 metres. Each round is 5 arrows, they also get one practice round of 5 arrows at each distance. There was around 2000 kids from across Canada competing in Edmonton. Our school has sent a team to Worlds in St Louis in 2013, Madison Wi in 2014 and Nashville last year. This year Worlds is in May so we can't go. All stars this year is in South Africa and our province is sending a team. NASP is an amazing sport because every kid can compete, there was a blind girl that shot in Edmonton and another girl confined to a wheel chair that shot as well.

A outstanding program that I would love to see in every school...I volunteer a lot of time for equipment set for this program and help out where we can..
it has even proven to improve attendence in schools..
it can be implemented in just about any school...
very worthwhile..
