Darkhorse Archery
Since 2021 we have had the pleasure of setting up over 100 veterans with bows each year. Some have joined us at tournaments and others have been set up on hunts. Our goal is to continue to raise funds to set more veterans up with bows each year, grow their love for archery and hopefully get them on their first hunt. We appreciate any and all sponsorships. Your generosity is how we are able to complete our mission throughout the year. Thank you for taking the time to read our story.
If you are a veteran interested in archery or you would like to nominate a veteran to receive a bow, please click the link for our online application. https://bit.ly/m/Darkhorse-Archery
