A Growing Community

Beyond the podium, the 2025–2026 season has seen a surge in membership. The club's annual meeting in late 2025 drew a "great turnout with a lot of new faces," expanding the roster to include members ranging from age 5 to 100. To support this growth, the club has maintained a rigorous training schedule with practices held every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Anderson Archery has launched into the 2025-2026 season with significant momentum, marked by high participation levels and strong competitive showings across regional TSO, USA, and S3DA tournaments. The club, which serves archers of all ages and skill levels, kicked off the new year by hosting the Anderson Archery Central KY TSO Tournament from November 14-15, 2025, as part of the Shoot-Out Series. This tournament was one of four indoor tournaments that has been hosted this season, welcoming over 500 people to our range since November 2025.

The team is now eyeing a busy spring and summer schedule and are looking forward to aiming their arrows at 3D and outdoor targets.

Over the last 15+ years, Anderson Archery, Inc. has used the same Morrell Targets M48 bales. These were a great investment for us and have held up very nicely over the years. It is now time to restuff and refurbish these bales. At the last couple of tournaments, we noticed that we can't hold this off much longer for safety purposes. Instead of purchasing new bales ($2000 each), we have decided to purchase new foam and bale covers to refurbish the frames that we have. This is not only cheaper but also more economical.

With that in mind, we will need some help from our community and sponsors to help us ensure our members have a safe place to enhance and fine-tune their archery skills. "Target Bale Sponsorships" will assist us in being able to afford this much-needed upgrade.

When you become a "Target Bale Sponsor", your business will be advertised on the base of the target bale and on our time clocks. We will have 4 sponsorship opportunities: two full bales, one full bale, half a bale, and a fourth of a bale sponsorships. Sponsorships varying in contribution amounts from $55 to $420.

If you would like to help us with our project and to advertise your business in our range (we have had around 800+ visitors in the range this year!), please visit the following link https://www.zeffy.com/.../donation-form/target-sponsorships

The United States Archery Team (USAT), established in 1982, consists of the top ranked male and female recurve, compound, barebow and fixed pin archers in the country.

Archers earn ranking points based on their performance at USAT Series Events. At the end of each calendar year, top ranked archers in each division will be appointed to 50+, Senior, Para, U21, U18 or U15 USAT. USAT archers are rewarded with highly coveted national team uniforms and sponsor benefits. 

Anderson Archery is privileged to have 4 of our members on the USA Archery Team! Delana Puryear (U15 Female Pins), David Fightmaster (U18 Male Pins), Maddison Stratton (U18 Pins), and Cody Fight Master (U21 Male Pins).  

We are grateful for the 2023-2025 sponsorships. With their help we have been able to update our range, build risers for target stands, update and purchase indoor/outdoor targets, repair safety equipment, add security equipment to the range, and to invest in our archers.
