Lancaster Archery Club

Lancaster Archery Club has deep roots in Pennsylvania archery. Formed in 1933, LAC is one of the oldest archery clubs in the USA. The club's history includes key moments like Clayton Shenk helping establish Pennsylvania's first Fall Archery Hunting Season for deer in 1953, and past members who earned state and eastern championships.
