Getting kids into archery
 

I have a friend (non-hunter) that is a PE teacher and he has started teaching his kids archery with some old equipment that the school had around. Most of the kids love it but the problem is that the equipment is getting pretty old and his school district has been going through many budget cuts the last few years so funding is next to nothing. Does anyone know of any groups or companies that would be willing to donate some new equipment or at least give the school a discount on it?

Thanks for any help.

The link above is to the N.A.S.P. program (National Archery in the School Program) which is set up by Genesis bows. If not familiar with the genesis it's IMO the best beginner bow for kids that will not be hunting with the bow. It's a compund with zero let off and no draw stop so it's quite versitile and should help to build up the mussles used in archery.

Bottom line, Great bows and a great program. I wish you the best of luck! Cudos!!
