During the fall of 1981, approximately six members called together a meeting with the intent to organize a small group of people interested in archery. The response was overwhelming and by the winter of 1981-’82 we had approximately 70 members.

            By 1982-’93, we had 85 members and started work on becoming legally organized, incorporated, and a state-sanctioned archery club. By 1983-’84, we had this completed and a membership of over 100 archers.

            From 1981 until today we have grown from 6 eager members to a present roster of approximately 150 members. In the years previous to 1991, all our activities were held at the Reading Community Center . In 1991, that all changed with the acquisition and remodel of our present building located on County Road 57 south of Worthington . We currently have 12 Winter League teams and 4 youth League teams that participate in league shooting from December to April.

            Since our beginning, we have exposed hundreds of youth to the sport of archery, archery hunting, all safety rules on the range and in the field, and sportsmanship. Many of the youth are Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts and other are in the Community Ed classes. With the help from other local organizations, we furnish and maintain all of the bows and other equipment for these activities along with donating our time to teach and supervise them.

            Our club consists of old and young, men and women, singles and families, and we take pride in our community involvement with youth.
