DUQUOIN, IL – NubAbility® Athletics Foundation announced today that the organization will be holding a 3D archery clinic for limb-different children Saturday, August 12th through Sunday, August 13th, and a 3D archery fundraiser tournament on Sunday, August 13th. The clinic is for children ages four to seventeen with congenital or traumatic limb loss; the charity tournament is open to all. Both events will be held at the Old Hickory Lake Bowmen Club, 480 Shute Lane in Hermitage, Tennessee. NubAbility is a 501(c)3 charity that helps limb-different children gain confidence and courage through instruction in 24 organized and outdoor sports.
3D archery incorporates three dimensional targets of artificial common game animals placed along an outdoor walking path to create a real-life setting for developing archery skills. “We are grateful to Old Hickory Lake Bowmen Club and The Archery Den for providing access to unique and beautiful private grounds to hold these events,” said NubAbility founder and executive director Sam Kuhnert. “Their generosity makes it possible for limb-different kids to learn and hone their archery skills while experiencing the natural beauty of Tennessee.”
BlueCross Blue Shield of Tennessee is title sponsor for both events.
