Youth archery lessons are sponsored each year by the South Forty Archers. Youths will be taught by certified instructors on the proper safety aspects of archery and the technical usage of archery equipment. The South Forty Archers will supply a bow for you (indicate if the youth is right or left handed) or you may bring your own equipment. Leasons are availabe for youths ages 9 through 17. All youths completing the archery class will receive a one year South Forty youth membership.

There were a total of 56 youths in the 4 classes taught in 2010. Some of the 2010 students were also enrolled in one of our 2009 classes. A South 40 member (Kent Zimmerman) donated a youth bow with acessories to be given away to one of our students. After completion of all classes, Zachary Nelson was drawn from the list of eligible student. Zachary was enrolled in both our June 7 pm and July 7 pm classes. The bow was presented to Zachery by Kent Zimmerman at the South Forty September meeting.
