MASSENA -- The 2011-2012 Long Sault Archery Club’s Junior Archery League ended its season last week with their awards banquet held at the Massena Rod & Gun Club. There were 28 archers in this year’s league.

The purpose of the junior league is twofold. First, it teaches youngsters from Pee-Wees (eight and under) to Young Adults (17) the proper technique to become a proficient archer while always stressing safety. Second, it helps promote the sport of archery for both target and hunting purposes.

Pictured are this year’s participants.

The Junior Archery League always begins on the first Thursday after New Years and runs for eleven weeks. They are always looking for new archers to help keep the sport alive.
