Default RE: How do you give back?

I've served 17 terms as an officer in local clubs. Currently serving another term this year. I lost count of how many people I've helpted get started in archery/bowhunting at well over 100 and I'm still at it.

One of my favorite things I've done in the past couple of years is doing an archery campout with a Boy Scout troop. The kids loved learning how to make bows and arrows from the natural materials around them and they had a blast shooting their bows. The scoutmaster said a couple of their 'problem' kids that had never before really participated in any of their activities showed a great deal of interest and enthusiasm for archery and were begging to do it again.

I guarantee you, I went home happy that day. Sure hope I get to do that again.
