(Atlantic, Iowa) – An Archery Club formed in Atlantic a little more than 45-years ago, and at one point in time, there were about 40 members in the local group. The Atlantic Archery League practiced at the Atlantic National Guard Armory in January, 1983. That was in the past. Fast forward to the current day, with the Atlantic Trojan Archery group having made big news, with high rankings in area and state competitions. There are over 100 high school and middle school participants. An increasing number of schools are adding archery to their programs.
Archery is much more than just shooting an arrow. Learn why this Sunday, April 21st, when Atlantic Archery Coach Clint Roland will talk about the sport at the American Legion Memorial Building (201 Poplar Street, Atlantic, IA). The event begins at 2-p.m. Roland will discuss the equipment needed, skills required for an accomplished archer, along with the characteristics and rules for competitions.
