The Youth Shooting Sports Alliance (YSSA) recently announced that Delta Sports Products, LLC has generously donated all of the archery round targets and easel stands requested in support of designated priority youth shooting sports programs.

Delta Sports Products, the leader in archery products, donated five Arrowstop 32" round targets and target easel stands to both the Blue Grass Council, Boy Scouts of America, Lexington, Kentucky and the Tukabatchee Area Council, BSA, Montgomery, Alabama and six targets and stands to the Mobile Area Council, BSA, Mobile, Alabama.

These priority programs were among those selected by an industry panel convened to review proposals submitted by youth organizations in response to last summer's National Assessment of Youth Shooting Sports Program Needs conducted by YSSA.

The Blue Grass Council is developing a shooting sports field equipped with an archery field. Development of this field and acquisition of the necessary equipment is projected to increase shooting sports activities three-fold. The Mobile Area Council will use Delta's donation in support of activities at Camp Challenge - a Scout Outreach program serving 900 "at-risk" Scouts. The Tukabatchee Area Council will use Delta's targets in support of their Summer Camp Shooting Sports Program which attracts 600 Scouts pursuing their archery merit badge.

Delta offers a full line of targets for archery enthusiasts, bowhunters, amateur competitors and professional archers. At Delta, you will find innovative, professional quality products, at economical prices.
