Archery is now Missouri's official state sport, thanks to special legislation from Tim Taylor.
As a Republican Representative for District 48, Taylor said he woke one morning this past fall with an idea that had him immediately reaching for his phone. He had to look up what Missouri's official sport was. Finding out there was none, he set out on a mission to fill that open spot with archery.
Taylor accomplished that goal, and the legislation takes effect later this month.
While at Bass Pro Shops' Archery Hall of Fame for a ceremony commemorating the occasion, Taylor recounted his own love of archery.
