Class Introductions

Group Classes

Start your archery journey with our beginner-friendly options.

Adult A1 - Barebow Beginner

 

Learn the fundamentals of archery from the ground up — range safety, proper form, and barebow shooting technique. Through structured drills in a supportive environment, you'll build the skills to shoot confidently at competition distance.


Upon completion, you will be able to safely and independently shoot at 18 meters, achieving JOAD/AAP 1-star benchmarks — a recognized milestone in USA Archery's development pathway.

A2 - Olympic Recurve Intermediate

Transition from barebow to Olympic recurve style and learn the National Training System (NTS) — the same framework used by USA Archery's competitive archers. You'll also gain the knowledge to select your first bow setup.


Upon completion, you will shoot consistently at 18 meters in Olympic style and understand how to build a foundation for competitive archery.

A3 - Competition Readiness

 

Master advanced NTS techniques and develop the mental skills needed to compete. You'll work on customized training plans tailored to your short, medium, and long-term goals — learning how to train, not just practice.

Upon completion, you will have a structured personal training plan and the mental and technical tools to perform under competition conditions.

Recurve Bow Tuning

Designed for experienced recurve shooters ready to optimize their equipment. Dive into performance tuning theory and hands-on practice specific to your bow setup. Your own recurve bow is required.

Upon completion, you will be able to independently tune your own equipment and understand how each component affects your performance and scores.

Intro Compound

Curious about compound bows? This hands-on session introduces you to compound bow mechanics, accessories, and safe operation. All equipment is provided — no prior compound experience needed.

Upon completion, you will understand how compound bows work, handle them safely, and have the knowledge to choose the right setup for your goals.
