The 4-H Archery Discipline covers the basics of archery. We give the beginning archer a broad, sound foundation for learning the sport and being able to enjoy it for a lifetime.

As with all 4-H projects, the goal Positive Youth Development. Leaders strive to develop youth to become competent, caring, contributing citizens of good character through a series of progressive learning experiences with a caring adult.

There are countless different types of archery equipment and games. In National 4-H we recognize 2 forms of archery Recurve and Compound. The recurve or traditional group includes everything from longbows and barebow recurves to Olympic style recurve bows. If the bow has wheels or cams, it is considered a compound. Each state, county, or club may have different rules, requirements, or types of classes.

At the National Championships all recurve competitors compete together. It doesn’t matter if you are shooting a barebow without sights or a stabilizer. You will be competing against people with a complete Olympic style setup. Same goes for Compound. You will have people shooting barebow competing against those shooting with sights, stabilizers, release, etc.  Scan QR Code to enroll in the Jackson County Fl 4-H Archery Club today!
