ABOUT US
Shoot for Life is a dedicated nonprofit organization that aims to promote and advance the sport of archery with integration into the outdoors while positively impacting the lives of individuals and communities. We firmly believe in the transformative power of archery, both as a competitive sport and as a tool for personal development, empowerment, and mental well-being.

Through local events, competitions, and collaborative initiatives, we encourage connections and friendships that extend beyond the range, creating a network of support and encouragement.
Beyond the sport itself, Shoot for Life is dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of those we serve. We actively engage with communities, schools, and organizations to promote archery as a means of empowerment, particularly among youth and those who face PTSD.

Get to Know Us
A Direct Action Focus
When you partake in a Shoot for Life event, you can do so knowing your support goes directly to programs that provide immediate relief for that illness. At our event we also provide direct action by gifting a brand-new bow to nominated veterans. In hopes to share a new found Place of Peace.
Why a Bow
When you are shooting a bow, your mind is focus on sending an arrow down range. In order to do that, that requires mental focus on how you draw the bow, settle on each anchor point, find your mark, and release the arrow in one fluid soundless motion. Archery aides in mental clarity and provides therapeutic properties while engaging in the sport. It is within our mission to reintroduce/integrate first responders back into the outdoors with the devotion to archery.
