National Bowhunter Education Foundation Introduces Lane Markers for NASP 3D Tournaments
Posted on: Nov 19, 2025
RAPID CITY, SD (November 19, 2025) – National Bowhunter Education Foundation (NBEF) developed lane markers to help keep National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP®) 3-D tournaments running smoothly and safely. Each strip includes 2”x3” floor stickers depicting each of the six 3D animals, in smallest to largest shooting order, and helping student identify the targets. The stickers are positioned on top of tape on the floor to indicate student’s shooting lanes and applicable target. The strips feature four-color artwork of a turkey, coyote, bear, antelope, whitetail and big horn sheep. NBEF sells the bundle of 3 strips for $10.
“The National Bowhunter Education Foundation is proud to support the NASP® program and assist with keeping its tournaments safe and organized,” said Marilyn Bentz, NBEF Executive Director. “NASP reaches millions of students each year, providing hands-on learning opportunities and sparking an interest in archery and bowhunting.”
NASP®’s mission is to promote instruction in international-style target archery as part of in-school curriculum, to improve educational performance and participation in the shooting sports among students in grades 4-12.
“As we continue to introduce millions of young people to the sport of archery, we are extremely grateful to the NBEF for its tremendous support and continued encouragement,” explained NASP® President Tommy Floyd. “It’s remarkable to work with individuals who share our vision for conservation and dedication to ensuring the successful future of our sport. Thank you NBEF!”
