Lancaster Archery Foundation Helps Arkansas University Team Take Flight

The Lancaster Archery Foundation awarded a grant to a collegiate archery club that is looking to organize its first archery team.

A-State Archery at Arkansas State University received $1,000 from the foundation to help pay for indoor targets. A-State Archery promotes archery to the entire university community, as well as to other local schools.

The club is in need of new indoor targets as it seeks to attract new archers and establish its first collegiate archery team. On its grant application to the Lancaster Archery Foundation, club officials wrote that A-State’s short-term goal is to establish an archery team, with a long-term goal of winning regionals. Now that’s positive thinking.

“This is exactly the type of program the Lancaster Archery Foundation wants to help,” said Rob Kaufhold, president of the foundation’s board of directors.

“A big part of our mission is to encourage competitive archery at the collegiate level. We want young archers to be able to compete at the collegiate level, while they’re working toward degrees.”

Based in Lancaster, Pa., the Lancaster Archery Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to expand, develop and promote 3D and target archery to help people improve their confidence, discipline and leadership skills through participation in competitive archery.
