Indiana schools archery tournament, Muncie, March 12

Indiana's fourth annual National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) state tournament, which promises to be the largest indoor youth archery tournament in state history, will be held Friday, March 12, in Muncie, at Horizon Convention Center.

The tournament features 38 participating schools with nearly 900 students competing. Last year, more than 570 students from 25 schools participated. Participation has increased each year. There is no charge for admission.

Indiana NASP coordinator Tim Beck said he hopes the growth will continue, not only with the tournament itself but for offshoots of it.

"It is our hope that this will lead to many new indoor and outdoor activities," he said.

Doors open at 7 a.m. Flight (shooting) times start at 8 a.m. A new flight starts every two hours. The last flight is scheduled for 4 p.m. A shoot-off of the six top scorers, both male and female, will follow the last flight to determine the overall individual winners in the 4th-6th, 7th-8th and 9th-12th grade classifications. An awards ceremony will follow.

The Indiana Field Archery Association will run the tournament, along with many volunteers and Indiana Department of Natural Resources conservation officers. The Indiana Hunter Education Association is the underwriting sponsor.

Supported as a joint venture between school corporations throughout Indiana and the DNR, NASP provides international target archery training in Indiana's physical educational classes, grades 4-12. NASP supports student education and introduces many life skills through the lifelong sport of archery.

Tournament competition is open only to schools that have received the archery training provided by the DNR Law Enforcement Division and have the archery program as a part of their school's curriculum.

The program is supported and often funded through local school corporations, the Indiana Hunter Education Association, individual donations, conservation organizations, and corporate sponsors such as the National Wild Turkey Federation.
