CULLMAN – Through a local grant from the Heritage Archery Club, a Cullman chapter of the Bowhunters of Alabama, National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) archery equipment was awarded to four area schools. This was a result of the local club working together with the city and state in support and promotion of the Alabama Department of Conservation & Natural Resources’ Alabama Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries (WFF) Division’s community archery strategy.
West Point School, Fairview High School, East Elementary School and Welti Elementary School all applied for the grant and received the equipment, purchased with private funds. Heritage Archery Club offered $5,000 in grant funds to area schools and partnered with the WFF Division and Cullman City Parks and Recreation for distribution and promotion of the continued archery lifestyle here in Cullman and all of Cullman County.
Equipment including Genesis bows, Easton arrows, Morrell targets and New Archery arrow rests was distributed to the schools.
