if you have seen any of my  offers to trade  ,then you know  i have been heavily  after feathers and shafts. after a fair collection of such  i  offered to  start a trad archery class for the kids  age 6 -16 at church out of  almost 28kids only 4 will be  in a class seem the others that want too-  have parents that think this is wrong so the  church officers will  most  likely stop any class . now i wonder  how will future archers find there way to the bow if they are dis-couraged by there elders-- i along with most  of you  grew up with a stick and string , played robin hood and never tired of it.  i am saddened that  all my efforts have come to fail these young people .  i want to think each and everyone that  made a trade with  me . i feel blessed to be among such good knowledgeable  folk -------thomas h. :'(

Cacatch:
Keep up the class, but do not affiliate it with the church. Let those who want to come, come.

thomas h:
good  idea i may just try that .

Mark Anderson:
Well, I work full-time as a worship leader and youth pastor, I know full well that sometimes it is hard to get people to see the vision. Luckily here at my church in rural MO everyone hunts and fishes and are very active outdoorsmen (and women), I even have a "survival weekend" planned for August for jr. high boys for a weekend of building bows and arrows and just some survival outdoors stuff.
Don't lose hope, sometimes it takes a while to turn a big ship! Stay positive and just reach those you can for now.

Pat B:
Contact the Christian Bowhunters of America (I think that's their name) for positive info about archery.
...or like CP said, start a class on your own. You may have the church coming to you to get more kids to church.  ;D
