My church is having a sportsmens show (Approx 5000 attendees) and banquet (250 dinners) on June 24th to help raise money to buy equipment for an archery ministry. We want to get the younger generation involved in the outdoors, and archery is a great confidence builder and tool to reach these kids.

Good luck. I run an archery ministry at our local church. Must be an awfully big church/archery ministry to be raffling off that type of merchandise. I bought 5 Genesis bows, NASP targets, 60 arrows for around $800, the church congregation donate the money to pay me back through offerings. The WV Bow Hunters Association was gracious enough to let us borrow extra bows, targets and the arrow curtain. Frank Addington Jr. has been nice enough to do his archery exhibition for free to kick off our registration night. We've had around 30 kids in the past, I am praying for 50 kids this year. It starts this Wednesday night.

WV Hunter- our weekly attendance at the church is anywhere from 1100-1200 a week, so it's not a mega church, but pretty good size. We are trying to raise enough for 20 bows, target curtain, target butts, arrows, misc arm guards and tabs, arrow repair equipment and a trailer so we can take the "show on the road" so to speak to other churches in our district. Our goal is to raise enough from the gun raffle to cover that, the costs of the banquet, and hopefull put some $ into the account for "make a hunt happen" as well. Praying its a huge succeess, and I add your program to our prayer list as well!

I wish we had that type of attendance. We are an older church. In our hayday we had 500+ coming. We are under 100 now. The church is located on the "west side" of Charleston, WV which is what you would expect from the term "west side". The culture has totally changed in the neighborhood but we are trying to reach the local inner city youth. We built a large gymnasium about 5 years ago instead of moving. We have tried Upward basketball as well. The archery program has been the biggest success as far as attendees that are not affiliated with the church.

We are really lucky. Our church is 101 years old this year, and I do not know much about past attendance(I have only been attending for about 2 years) but our Youth department is really solid, and we really just want to get more kids in our area involved into the outdoors...and hopefully pull them into the kingdom as well!

UPDATE! Our comittee voted last night to lower the general rifle raffle tickets to $2 each (or 3 for $5)

If any of you guys want to get in on this just let me know!

Thanks!

Also, the Kimber and Versamax tickets were reduced to only $10 each!
