Missouri archers place in 2023 NASP Western National Bullseye and 3D Tournament

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Student archers from Missouri’s National Archery in the Schools Program (MoNASP) traveled to Sandy, UT last month to compete in the 2023 Western National Bullseye and 3D Tournament held April 28-29.

MoNASP is coordinated through the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC), the Missouri Conservation Heritage Foundation (MCHF), and the Conservation Federation of Missouri (CFM) in partnership with more than 700 participating schools and numerous supporting organizations throughout the state. Around 80,000 Missouri students participate in the program.

MoNASP is an affiliate of NASP and promotes education, self-esteem, and physical activity for students in grades 4-12 through participation in the sport of archery. Statistics show school archery programs improve students’ school attendance, increase their self-esteem and physical activity, help them relate to subject matter, and help them get outdoors.

A total of 1,763 archers from 24 states attended this year’s bullseye tournament. A total of 1,214 students from 21 states participated in the 3D challenge. Twenty-two Missouri archers competed in the bullseye portion of the tournament and 31 Missouri archers competed in the 3D portion.
