Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (3)
  1. $281 spent. CLASSES: We continued our First Time Classes, Weekly Recreational Classes, Traditional Archery Classes and Private Group Classes. First Time Classes and Private Group Classes ran 1.5-2 hours each and our Weekly Recreational Classes ran 1 hour each. All classes involved educating the attendees on range safety, general anatomy of bows and arrows and the National Training Shooting form, as defined by USA Archery. Weekly Recreational Classes provided an opportunity for those seeking more time with a Certified Instructor behind them, helping them to achieve their archery goals. This year, we also introduced NASP Classes. These classes provided NASP archers the ability to obtain additional training in addition to the regularly-scheduled practice times with their teams.
  2. $437 spent. MEMBERSHIPS: We offered 4 types of Memberships. They include Annual Membership, Open Range Membership, and Lifetime Membership. And this year, we added a NASP Annual Membership. An Annual Membership ranged in cost from $50 to $75 and offered a number of services, including the use of our equipment and open range time once per week, choice of t-shirt, insulated water bottle or face mask, and discounts on Weekly Classes. Members can also invite guests to join them at the range at the cost of $10 per person per visit. An Open Range Membership costs $450 and offers all fo the benefits of the Annual Membership plus the opportunity to shoot open range every day of the week that we are open. Our Lifetime Membership cost $3,500 and offered all of the benefits of the Open Range for the life of the Member. Our NASP Annual Membership costs $50 and provides all of the same benefits of an Annual Membership to our NASP Archers.
  3. $29,108 spent. NASP: In 2021, we partnered with NASP National Coach of the Year to coach and organize four Austin Independent School District schools. We worked with elementary, middle and high school programs to educate kids in the sport of archery and competition.
