In response to the global coronavirus outbreak, Penn State University today made an announcement that all non-essential campus events should be canceled through April 6.

This announcement, in addition to exercising an abundance of caution, is cause for the Pennsylvania Game Commission’s National Archery in the School Program’s state tournament, scheduled for Friday, March 13, on the campus of Penn State University, to be cancelled.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and the disappointment this announcement will cause our NASP participants. We will follow up with participants in the coming weeks with additional information and if rescheduling will be a possibility.

Hi Everyone,
Because our tournament filled in record time, I have received approval to add an additional flight to allow more students the opportunity to attend our State Championship.
The flight will be added at 2pm today.

Thank you and I hope to see you all next week.

The Pennsylvania Game Commission will once again be giving away the NASP IBO 3D Challenge kits this fall. We will be giving away 10 complete kits to be drawn at random! These kits are worth $3,000 each. What is the NASP IBO 3D Challenge? This is a program that coincides with the current NASP program your school is teaching but allows students to shoot at life-like foam animal targets for score. The range places the animals at different distances creating more of a challenge for your students. What do you have to do to enter?

1. Have one certified BAI(Coach) from your school send a picture to [email protected] of your archery team/club or students shooting during class with your school name visible. (on a t-shirt/banner/wall/ or add it to the photo)

2. Follow our PA NASP page to see if you are chosen.

That’s It!

Each school may only win one kit and only apply once. (If your school won a kit in the past you cannot win again) Your school must be actively teaching the NASP curriculum for the 2019-20 school year to be eligible. Photos may be entered until October 18th at 4pm. A verification email will be sent upon receiving your entry.

The drawing is for Pennsylvania schools only and will take place on October 21st.

Each kit includes:
1 – Rinehart 3D Deer
1 – Rinehart 3D Sheep
1 – Rinehart 3D Antelope
1 – Rinehart 3D Coyote
1 – Rinehart 3D Turkey
1 – Rinehart 3D Bear
1 – Arrow Curtain
6 – 3D Target Stands

Please share this with other NASP Schools!
GOOD LUCK!

We join many others in the Pennsylvania NASP community in being deeply saddened by the recent news of Cole Wilson’s passing. Cole was a senior at Portersville Christian School and a dedicated member of his school’s NASP team. He recently competed at the National Championship event in Kentucky. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, teammates and classmates during this time of sadness and loss.
