Meeker is joining a chapter of the Scholastic 3-D Archery program. This group is tailored for young archers with a desire to improve, compete and have fun. A special focus for this non-profit organization is for youth to earn opportunities to continue their archery career with scholarships to college. This program enables kids to shoot year-round with indoor, outdoor target and 3-D competitions. We are proud of our team who competed at a Vegas-style shoot this past weekend in Grand Junction. Five of the six Meeker shooters placed in the top three of their class. The competition hosted almost 50 archers from all across western Colorado. We are grateful for the support from wonderful generous sponsors here in Meeker and are excited for this to expand our youth archery opportunities. The next competition will be in Meeker this January. | COURTESY PHOTO
