Archery is somewhat of a "leveling sport." People of all ages, genders and abilities can easily discover the rewards of archery. Range and entire building is wheelchair accessible!

 

 

 

We will move at a pace that is suitable for the class. Small groups allow for one-on-one attention as well. Fun, engaging archery games will be used (tic-tac-toe, balloon shoots, etc.) in combination with methods of self-control and mental and physical conditioning (deep breathing, focusing methods & stretching).

Fee

$150.00 for seven sessions (1.5 hours each). Equipment: All bows, arrows, targets, quivers, finger and arm guards and chest protectors will be provided. Personal equipment may be used upon approval of the instructor.
