"I was amazed on such a short notice that we had so many states in attendance at this event, said Jennie Richardson, Executive Director for Scholastic 3-D Archery. "We look forward to developing our program in the Western United States and growing this S3DA event as we have in the Eastern United States."

Started in December 2012 by the Scholastic Archery Association, S3DA has grown exponentially as a next step program to follow introductory programs offered as part of 4-H or the National Archery in Schools Program. S3DA addresses the need for a program to bridge beginning target archery experience and more advanced activities such as 3-D shooting and bowhunting. The program currently operates across the United States with hundreds of certified coaches serving thousands of young archers, grades 3–12.
