Whitetails Unlimited awarded a grant totaling $12,809 to the Jackson Bowhunters located in Jackson, Ohio. The Jackson Bowhunters Club is a local archery club and range, whose main goal and purpose is to provide a place for people to shoot their bows, hone their skills, and educate others interested in learning how to shoot a bow.

The group hosts annual free Kids Camps where members instruct area youth on archery marksmanship. This is done on an outdoor range offering 20+ different targets in a wooded atmosphere any nature lover would enjoy. The indoor range is also open for area shooting sports organizations such as 4-H and NASP.

The club was formed in 1969 by a group of friends who all had an interest in finding a place where they could meet and practice their bow shooting skills. A range was established in the early 70’s, but the group was forced to move several times due to economic development. The club’s current building was constructed in 1990 and houses a 25-yard range complete with a small kitchen and restrooms. Future plans include expanding the building to be able to facilitate a 50-yard range.
