COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - USA Archery is now accepting applications for the 2024 Explore Archery Grant. This grant administered by USA Archery, was made possible thanks to generous contributions by The Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (AFWA) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and is the second multi-state grant opportunity announced this year.

The goal is to expand archery into new communities across the United States, to recruit diverse instructors and to grow archery in urban and suburban areas.

Through this grant, USA Archery will provide USA Archery Level 2 certification to 30 new archery instructors located in urban and suburban areas. Select recipients will also receive equipment and program materials to help support the start-up of a new Explore Archery Program.
