Each year, at schools around Minnesota, nearly a quarter-million students aim and release arrows at targets through an Archery in the Schools program, a figure that appears to be growing, according to the Department of Natural Resources. 

“We have some great momentum going in Minnesota as more and more schools are figuring out what a positive experience archery can be for students and teachers,” said Kraig Kiger, who oversees the Archery in the Schools program for the DNR. “Archery is truly a lifelong skill and students can continue on in a variety of ways whether it be target shooting, competition or hunting.”

Nearly 1,600 students from 83 schools, competed in the 2017 State High School Archery Tournament, March 31 to April 1, in Duluth. Participants included elementary through high school students.

The tournament was sanctioned by the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) and run by the North Country Bow Hunters Chapter of Safari Club International. To see results, visit the NASP website.

In the schools, NASP aims to train teachers and provide students with the best equipment, training and curriculum available for the lowest price. Most schools with archery programs hold activities during the school day, but about 20 percent have an additional after-school archery program that develops into a competitive team.

“If schools are at all interested in learning more, they shouldn’t hesitate to call, because we have ways to help them start a program, whether through information or grant funding,” Kiger said.

Through the DNR, schools can receive grant money for archery programs. The DNR can help match a school’s contribution toward starting an archery program, with the school’s minimum financial contribution set at $1,800.

      What a difference a day makes.  Fishing was very slow today.  Biggest I caught was only 13 inches.  Marked a lot of fish but couldn't get very many to bite.   The wind was very strong today and did cause a little bit of drifting, but travel is still good on the latke.  Just avoid the snow banks and drifts.  Saw one house get pulled off the lake, and didn't see any new houses come out before I left the lake at 4pm.  Lots of snowmobiles and trailers in Tower.  At least the city and lake will be busy with those.   Good luck fishing if you go out the last weekend of the winter season.

      Ice condition didn't change much in the last week as shown in the McKinley Park photo from today.  The holes in my house froze all the way down in the last six days; 40 inches of ice now.  I drilled my two holes 24 inches and cleared the shavings out before reaching water.  Much cleaner way in a permanent house.   Fishing was pretty good today.  Caught two 24" walleyes, including the 5#-7oz fatty pictured.  Also caught a 19 incher.  Best bite was from 11 to noon.  Much better action with chubs than shiners today.  Never tried the pike suckers I had.   Good luck fishing the last weekend this winter.  Going to be very windy Friday, but drifting shouldn't b a problem since there is no loose snow on the lake.  Saturday and Sunday look to be very warm.  Still about 35 houses left out from McKinley Park.
