The first event of the Youth and Adult archery season launches May 7th at 6:00 p.m. at the Bruce Peninsula Sportsmen’s Association (BPSA) compound west of Wiarton.
Archery is a growing sport in Canada especially among young people. It is an accessible sport that allows youth of all ages and athletic ability to take part. It has proven to grow self-esteem and encourage school attendance.
BPSA provides all the required gear for the youth part of the program. Adults may also try our equipment to determine which type and size of bow they would like to buy. The BPSA Archery Team will offer the use of the club’s recurve bows and arrows for members who don’t have equipment.
As part of the program, families may try archery for two nights at a rate of $10.00 per archer. If, after that, you feel you would enjoy the program, you are required to join BPSA and the BPSA Archery Program.
On orientation night Tuesday May 7th, full details of the BPSA Archery Program will be explained. We do not prepare archers for competitions, however, in the fall BPSA holds an in-house 3-D Tournament and Potluck for members.
