State Archery In The Schools Tournament Scores Announced
PRATT – The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism hosted the 9th Annual State Archery in the Schools Tournament on Saturday, April 7, at Blythe Family Fitness Center in Pratt where 336 students aimed to prove their archery skills.
Archers shot for individual and team honors, as well as the opportunity to compete at the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) competition in Louisville, Ken. this June. Each Kansas state competitor shot 30 arrows – fifteen arrows from 10 meters and fifteen arrows from 15 meters. A bullseye scores 10 points, so a perfect score would be 300.
Following the last flight, a five-arrow “Senior Shoot-off” named two $1,000 scholarship winners – Tatum vonWinklepleck of Pittsburg High School and Jason Goff, shooting for Erie Arrows. The scholarship donations were made possible by the Kansas Bowhunters Association (KBA), The Peoples Bank in Pratt, and NASP.
