To show its support of youth archery, and specifically Scholastic 3-D Archery (S3DA), well-known target manufacturer Delta McKenzie recently announced a $10,000 sponsorship and discount program.
“We are supporting S3DA because the organization offers kids a chance to learn the sport of archery and understand the benefits of practice and competition, while having a lot of fun at the same time,” said Easton Technical Products President Mark Pezzoni (Easton owns Delta McKenzie).
In addition to the $10,000 grant, Delta will provide several very attractive discount programs for S3DA members and new clubs. The new club offer will be aimed at helping new S3DA affiliates kick-start their archery ranges.
S3DA is a “next step” program designed to follow introductory archery programs such as those offered through 4-H and the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP). S3DA’s founders created key partnerships with archery and conservation organizations such as the Archery Trade Association (ATA), National Field Archery Association (NFAA), the Archery Shooters Association (ASA) and the Pope and Young Club to promote continuity in skill levels, while encouraging life-long participation in 3-D and bowhunting.
“Delta McKenzie is an established name in the 3-D target business,” said S3DA Executive Director Jennie Richardson. “Delta Mckenzie targets are known for quality, durability and integrity. We are pleased that Delta McKenzie has realized the importance of S3DA in ensuring the future of the sport of archery for generations to come. The sponsor dollars and discount program will allow us to pass savings down to our state chapters, clubs and teams so they can grow at the local level. The Delta McKenzie name will provide rich experiences for our youth archers across the country for years to come.”
