1st ANNUAL HOLLYWOOD CELEBRITY ARCHERY SHOOT TO BENEFIT THE NATIONAL ARCHERY IN THE SCHOOLS PROGRAM, NOV. 16, Conejo Valley Archers, Simi Valley, CA
Nation-wide, people are worried about the decline in hunters and sport shooters. In contrast, since 1980, the number of archers in the U.S. has gone from 3 million to more than 23 million, and as many as 1/3 of American archers are women. One reason that there is dramatic increased interest in archery is the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP®).Currently, more than 2 million 4th-12th grade kids participate in every year. It’s the largest youth archery program in history, and it’s growing at 9.3% per year – about 1,000 new schools join every year. And there has never been a serious injury in a event.
NASP® is definitely one factor in the phenomenal growth of archery. Another is that many heroic archers are appearing in TV and films. According to the Archery Trade Association, a big boost for women in archery came in 1999 when Oscar-winning actress Geena Davis became a semi-finalist for making the U.S. Olympic archery team. Davis says she was inspired to take up the sport by Olympic archers on TV. And after major motion pictures showing heroic archers, like "Hunger Games," the numbers of new archers, especially women, has skyrocketed according to ATA.
To help build support for archery and outdoor sports, on November 16, 2019, the First Annual Hollywood Celebrity Archery Shoot will be held at Conejo Valley Archers in Simi Valley, CA. https://www.cvarchers.com/ This is a benefit for NASP®. The Weatherby Foundation has provided a grant to cover the basic costs, and a number of other sponsors have contributed equipment for prizes and silent auctions, including an $1100 Mathews bow. This event will involve teams of celebrities (actors, producers, writers, visual artists) NASP archers, and supporting archers competing for prizes donated by the archery industry and many others. And to show us all how its done, pro archer Dave Gore will be there to give support and guidance https://bowtecharchery.com/team-bowtech/dave-gore/
