What is Explore Bowhunting?

Explore Bowhunting is a "one-of-a-kind" program that encompasses the outdoor skills used not only to bowhunt, but for wildlife watching, photography and filming. Created by the Archery Trade Association (ATA) in response to the decline in hunting participation across the nation, Explore Bowhunting hopes to connect students with the outdoors through archery and enhance their encounters within. The 22 lesson curriculum follows National Education Standards enabling it to be taught in PE classes, Biology, Wildlife Management, Ag. or even Physics. Not only is this program a great fit for schools, but its flexibility allows it to benefit many other organizations such as 4-H sportsmen’s clubs, scouts, and churches. Targeting students ages 11-17, students will be exposed to a variety of hands-on activities ranging from building a blind, wildlife tracking and Identification, wildlife scents and calls, camouflage, deer anatomy and ecology and so much more!
