TomKatt:
  Any ideas to get new people involved  ?  We have a shoot the  first sun every month and the range is set up on sat. was thinking that we could have a intro to archery for kids and any others people with loaned equipment for a few hours on sat. to get more people to try archery any other ideas ?  I know that it is a lot of work putting on a shoot and wonder how some of the other clubs do such a great job with a great turn out. I know that there are a lot of others but just 2 that I have been to this year (Twin Oaks and Baltimore ) the work that was put in to the events is greatly appreciated , How do you do it?
 We are at 30 members and its all the old guys setting up and cleaning up. 


Thanks Tom

Watch some Robin Hood flics  or "Hunger Games" it can inspire some.

Just a thought, don't know if it'd work. Maybe invite some groups that already have youth involved. Try inviting 4-H, Cub Scout, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Church Youth Groups and so on. I've been involved in helping with some of these groups and honestly, we look for stuff like this to do with the kids. Could be a very beneficial relationship for everyone.

I belong to a handful of archery clubs and I see that the Michigan Longbow Association has the recipe for drawing the young archers. Maybe go to their facebook page a review their posts to get an idea.  They are very successful at it.

As far as work at clubs.  The same 10% do 90 % of the work. That is just the way it is.
