District 5 4-H 3-D Archery Meet

by

In 2021, Ronald Barlow, Sabine County Ag and Natural Resources agent, lost his battle with COVID-19. Ronald was a huge proponent of youth education and spent many years as an ag teacher, principal, and county agent. He truly enjoyed working with youth and helping them to achieve their goals, and one of his favorite 4-H projects was Archery. Beginning in 2022, District 5 has renamed their competition to the Ronald Barlow Memorial 3-D Archery Meet to celebrate his life and the positive impact he made on 4-H youth. For more information, visit the 3-D Archery page.
