Archery involves a fascinating group of sports for youth of all ages. The fundamentals are simple. The requirements are few. A new archer can be shooting well within a short time, if he or she has the benefit of a knowledgeable mentor and instructor. The 4-H Archery discipline includes instruction and practice using bare-bows, Olympic style recurve, and compound bows in recreational, competitive and hunting environments. 4-H shooting sports members develop their coordination, confidence, safety and mechanical technical knowledge while participating in the Archery discipline.
