Strive to be at your best

Harness the power of archery to compete, find adventure and build comradery

Too many first responders are so busy taking care of everyone else and never get around to taking care of themselves.

We know you care about the people you serve. It’s why you and your colleagues joined public service to begin with. Unfortunately, personal health and wellness can easily fall by the wayside for police, firemen, EMS, military, and other first responders. 

Why? I think your career path says it all. First responders are tasked with putting others first– which often means your personal well being comes in second. 

But, here is the problem. The communities you serve and loved ones you care about are counting on you to be at your best. And, we realize the pressures and demands of public service have never been higher.

It’s time to release stress, enhance physical fitness, and make incredible memories. 

Through Centershot Blue, we use the sport of archery to do just that while also promoting competition, adventure, and camaraderie.

Why Archery?

Why Archery?

Character development and peak performance are core to your success as a first responder. Prioritizing your health and wellbeing often feels like the last thing you have time for, but it’s the very thing that will sustain your ability to serve into the future. Communal activities are meant to bring us together. And as you know, first responders of all backgrounds- fire, police, corrections, military, and others- thrive in the midst of that community and shared experience. 

We know sports can be that mechanism to enhance strength, focus, and trust. They remind us of the importance of patience, determination, and self-discipline. Unfortunately, many sports require a ton of equipment, aren’t fully inclusive of all abilities, or don’t offer a sense of adventure. It’s important to us that we offer an activity that appeals to you, peers, and even friends and family. Enter archery.

“As a career-long public servant in the fields of law-enforcement, firefighting, and EMS, I have been exposed to multiple levels of stress for multiple years. Throughout my career, I have been involved with immeasurable amounts of trauma, death, and the darkest of times. Like most first responders I just learned to tuck away my feelings and emotions and move onto the next call! I thought I was fine! When I met the team from Centershot BLUE. I realized I was not fine! Tucking away all of my feelings and emotions throughout my career had caused a thick, hardened, in sensitive shell to be formed around me. The immediate connection I felt with the team from Centershot BLUE allowed me to release all of that built up trauma and stress that I did not know I was carrying around with me. Centershot BLUE welcomed me like family and quickly became my closest friends. Since being involved with Centershot BLUE my life has become completely different! My faith is deeper and stronger than it ever has been, and I have learned how to properly manage situations in a positive way. Working with Centershot BLUE has opened many new connections and opportunities for me to serve people in need. The friends that I have made throughout my journey with Centershot BLUE are people that I hold very close to my heart!.”

Rick Young, Police Officer/Firefighter/Paramedic

 “This first year has been a whirlwind of Centershot BLUE events.  Being with Veterans, First Responders, and like-minded outdoor fanatics has been a true blessing for me.  This group has provided the camaraderie I have longed for since moving to a new state and retiring from the U.S. Navy.  My wife is an Army Vet and school teacher has come to love it and we are now shooting league and other events together.  We both have become Basic Archery Instructors, helping out with Centershot BLUE.  We look forward to every event we attend, and we cherish the chance to come alongside other Veterans and First responders who have had some of the same life experiences.  I have grown so much from the conversations that I have had with others during our time on the range.  It is just such a blessing to support others and receive support. I look forward to future Centershot BLUE events where I can share my love for archery and be part of a new brotherhood. “
