    I'm 14 and love to bowhunt, and I'm interested in getting into target archery. What leauges, competitions, or tournaments are in northern Illinois? Youth would be nice, but I'm game for anything. Thanks.

    Guess it really depends on how serious you want to get into the sport. You can always find local events that are open to youth if you just search your area. If you really want to get into the sport I would find a local JOAD club and get involved that way.

    Yes - I've seen and been a part of JOAD programs all over the country. TAZ's program is top notch and well run program with a great coach. Several of their kids are doing really well on the national level as well. It might be a drive for you but I'd heavily recommend them.
