Engage your community with confidence.
Use the power of archery to unite neighborhoods around an activity everyone can enjoy.
There’s a lot riding on your relationship with the community.
We know you care about the people you serve. It’s why you and your colleagues joined law enforcement to begin with. Unfortunately, the programs and activities police, firemen, EMS and others rely on often miss the mark. They feel dated and out of touch.
We realize that being a first responder has never been harder. The pressures and demands of public service leave you second guessing how to make a difference. It’s frustrating to feel stuck when you know the power of true community engagement. Even though the odds may be stacked against first responders like you, we have seen the impact of engagement programs that utilize the power of archery.
It’s time to build new levels of trust and rapport that strengthen your ties to the community.

Why Archery?
Why Archery?
Character development is at the heart of community engagement. Communal activities are meant to bring us together. Trust and credibility come when all sides see the value of shared experience. No matter our individual background, sports play a big part in that effort and are important to so many families. They teach us patience, focus, and self-discipline. Unfortunately, many sports- although fun- aren’t inclusive. When they are physically demanding, it limits who can participate.
If our goal is to include everyone, it’s important to utilize activities that promote and foster that mindset. Enter archery.
- It’s therapeutic.
- It’s always in season.
- It promotes mental toughness.
- It’s naturally designed to include all ages and abilities.
- It’s centered on fitness and endurance, but is not physically demanding.
- It’s exciting and offers a sense of adventure which encourages everyone to learn something new together.
Archery is an enjoyable activity that promotes a growth mindset and offers the opportunity for you to engage your community with confidence.
Invest in the next generation through imparting valuable life skills.
Spend meaningful time with families in your community.
Show care and concern for the wellbeing of your people.
Increase participation because your programming is inclusive of all ages and abilities.
It’s our privilege to serve first responders and the communities who rely on them.
“Centershot BLUE has the best people. It’s helped center my heart and strengthened me. It’s more than just aiming —- it’s patience, faith, precision, and understanding. It’s help you might not know you needed. “
“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!.”
“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. “
