Taking aim at archery season

Photos submitted by Jim Dunn
Over the last three weeks the kids from Meade County, under the direction of Coach Mike Dowell, have participated in open ranges at the Meade County Fairgrounds. Open ranges introduce the sport of archery to new archers, allowing them to try and see if they want to pursue the sport further. Open ranges also help returning archers work out the kinks after taking the summer off from the sport. Last year, Meade County had the top middle school female in the United States – Meaghan Dunn – and the top high school female in the United States – Courtney Campbell. The Stuart Pepper Middle School team led by Coach Travis Stull placed second in the nation overall. For more information on archery in Meade County, visit http://www.eteamz.com/MeadeArchery. The National Archery in the Schools Program provides international-style target archery instruction to students in grades 4-12 as part of an in-school curriculum. These schools may then form afterschool programs.
