My wife has volunteered to be a summer camp director for junior high kids this summer, just a one week camp.

She has asked me to take charge of archery for the campers.

What bows would you guys recommend? I'd like to stick with simple bows like recurves. What targets/stands? What arrows? Where to buy? Are there instructional materials available from the archery equivalent of the NRA (before the fall)?

I think 4 or 5 lanes would fit the space available and number of campers (50). Thanks.

Are you guys buying your own equipment for this? Matthew’s Genesis are excellent for this role.

I think I'll end up buying the gear as a donation to the camp. I'll look into the Mathews.

For anyone else who might need to do this, there is a National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP). They have instructional videos on teaching kids to shoot, as well as discounted archery equipment, provided your school/camp is a non-profit.

They do, indeed, use Genesis bows. Thanks!
