Archery is an incredibly fun and rewarding sport. While the basics can be learned quickly, true proficiency requires effort, focus, and practice. The first day of lessons will focus on understanding and practicing the steps of NTS (The National Training System). This system provides a strong foundation for safe and effective movement with the bow, covering everything from a solid stance to a steady head, a stable anchor to a well-aimed arrow flying true to its mark. Participants will learn the same fundamental movements as Olympic archers, using an Olympic-style takedown recurve bow. We will start with barebow shooting, meaning without the additional attachments used in Olympic-style archery, allowing archers to focus on core technique and control. Along the way, we can explore how these same movements apply to bows with Olympic-style attachments as well as compound bows.
This class is perfect for beginners looking to develop proper form and for those interested in expanding their understanding of different archery styles. All equipment is provided.
We also offer small group and private indoor lessons through our online booking system.
