Father, James Sutteer described the benefits of Coach Pete Bush’s public school archery teams…(Audio)
The school sports program runs from October through May using the physical education (PE) classes to familiarize over 60 local students a year to archery.
A benefit of the program is athletic abilities, social issues, and styles of life are checked in at the door, providing each student a level playing field no matter if they are in the fourth grade or a senior in high school. The archers are required to build discipline and compete as a unified team; much the same as other high school sports.
“This requirement forges bonds and friendships between students that would not happen in a normal school environment.”Coach Bush explained.

Scoring is based upon a 300 point system, and has three rounds of target engagement, which are called flights. The flights start with a practice round, and three scoring rounds at 10 meters and 15 meters.
The team has had shooters score in the 292 to 297 range, and has had placing shooters in state and national competitions.
For each child just to be equipped, the cost is approximately $600 per individual, not counting the cost of going to events.
