Academic Archer!

NASP cares about learning in the classroom!

The Academic Archer program was established to recognize student success in the
classroom as well as on the archery range. We know that once introduced, students
love shooting NASP®. Educators can use this love of archery to promote and recognize
better outcomes in the classroom. Many times, students who are on the “bubble” of
performing better academically find archery as the reason to give the extra effort
needed to succeed academically.

All NASP® Academic Archers will be automatically registered for a chance to win 1 of
10 free Genesis bows and specially marked Easton arrows. Equipment winners will be
selected and announced prior to the Eastern National NASP® tournament.
