This is pretty awesome. If you didn’t know it was an option, take a look at this posted on fwp.mt.gov:
National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) is a two-week physical education program designed to teach the fundamentals of archery in grades 4-12. Archery is a completely safe activity where girls, boys, athletes and non-athletes all compete on a level playing field. The program can be taught indoors using the gymnasium or outdoors and can be translated into compelling curriculum for math, science and history teachers. Many schools have also started after school and summer programs. In just a few short years, NASP has spread from 12 Montana pilot schools to approximately 70 schools statewide. Students shoot at bullseye targets placed before an arrow resistant net in their gymnasium. Equipment used is state-of-the art and designed to fit every student. The goal of this program is to provide middle school children with the ingredients to become involved in a life skill that has no barriers. Unlike many school activities, students of all sizes can easily be involved in archery.
