Daisy and BB guns are synonymous. Millions of today’s shooters began that long, wonderful journey with a Daisy as their first step. Now Daisy introduces a line of youth-oriented archery gear including long bows, compound bows, and crossbows. Here’s the latest from the National Wild Turkey Convention in Nashville Tennessee.
Youth of all ages stopped by the Family Adventure Village, a part of the NWTF Convention and Sport Show, to try Daisy’s new youth archery products. Generations of new hunters and recreational shooters take their first shot with Daisy BB guns. So it makes sense for Daisy Outdoor Products to introduce a youth archery line.
“Having Daisy’s new longbow and crossbow at this convention is a great way for young people and JAKES program leaders to try these products,” said Joe Murfin, Daisy’s vice president of public relations. “We look forward to knowledgeable NWTF chapter leaders throughout the country teaching young people recreational shooting and archery shooting skills with our Daisy equipment.”
Products include a longbow and compound bow, recommended for youth age 10 and older with adult supervision, and crossbow recommended for youth age 16 and older with adult supervision. Daisy has a long-standing partnership with the NWTF as the official airgun of the NWTF’s JAKES (Juniors Acquiring Knowledge, Ethics, and Sportsmanship) Take Aim program. JAKES Take Aim trailers already are outfitted with a Daisy inflatable BB gun range and youth BB guns, and soon will have access to Daisy youth archery equipment.
Daisy’s support of the NWTF includes a recent donation of 50 inflatable BB gun ranges, each with a Daisy Model 74 youth semi-automatic BB repeater. Helping introduce young people to recreational shooting and archery supports NWTF’s Save the Habitat. Save the Hunt. initiative.
