    Please grant GT Archery a permit. Communities need places like this for the following reasons:
    Archery is open to all
    Archery can be done by able bodied and disabled people. People with the most severe disabilities and even the blind, using special equipment are able to join in.
    It is a physically demanding sport
    While it is a fun sport, archery is also physically demanding. It improves upper body strength for greater control.
    Archery require not only some physical strength, but also mental fitness, and archers develop their focus, flexibility, and attention skills.
    Archery is relatively inexpensive, and many archery shops allow you to borrow equipment when having lessons from them.
    Archery is enjoyable for everyone. It can be a family sport.
    Archery is particularly useful for youngsters as it teaches them the benefits of patience. Significant levels of practice are required to reach a decent standard and that level is not reached without patience and dedication.
    Archery is both an indoor and outdoor sport
    Archery can be practiced both indoors and outdoors.
    People from many walks of life enjoy archery. Almost every age group can participate, children as young as 6 have taken well to the sport, and people in their 80s shoot competitively. It also teaches the benefits of teamwork with some competitions involving groups of people.
    It Improves self-confidence
    Archery provides great satisfaction in combining both mental and physical attributes to good effect. Whatever the results at the target, every archer is able to draw satisfaction to a lesser or greater extent, from having won a personal mental battle.
    Archery teaches everyone to be safe and responsible for one another and also for the equipment they are using.

    Cletus and Ginger are honest hardworking people trying to fill a need in their community and give everyone a place to come together. Archery is a great way to teach our children skills that will benefit them all of their lives.
    Thank you

    We've been customers at GT Archery for almost 3 years. We've been treated like family from the very beginning. Both of my kids have learned to shoot a bow at GT Archery safely and accurately. One of my kids has gone on to compete at State, National and World tournaments. Everywhere we travel, our daughter represents GT Archery. The youth leagues are great for youth to interact with each other, build confidence and keep them determined to succeed. It's a great place for families too. These are just a few reasons why GT Archery needs to remain. We live in WV and travel to GT for all our Archery needs.

    Please oppose the dog breeding kennel.Dogs deserve a better life than to be bred over and over and over for profit. The shelters are crammed full of dogs. Adopt don't shop
