The initial learning with archery is more difficult
than most sports. With many sports (basketball, soccer, fencing, etc.), the student
learns one or two skills and practices them. Then other skills
are added one or two at a time, until all skills
are learned. These are the basic units of these sports
With archery, the basic unit is the complete shot. To shoot an arrow safely and with control,
all the skills must be taught at the
beginning. You can't practice part of a shot! Therefore, there is a steep initial learning curve. |

Get Started Right
Want to start? — Lessons for 1 or 2 people give you focused attention
from the instructor, so you have a better chance for success. You
can learn properly and (hopefully!) avoid bad habits. Once you have a solid grasp of the
fundamentals and have your own equipment, you build
your skills with others in classes. Equipment is provided for
the lessons.

to schedule.
Want to try it
first? — For
those who have never shot, a
One -Time Introduction
allows you to either see what shooting is like, or to asses the
interest of a child. In a small group with 2 instructors,
there is very basic instruction, then each instructor works with
a
person as they shoot. So for an hour and a half, you can have some
experience of what archery is like. Equipment is provided.
A One-Time Introduction makes a great
gift. It could be as part of a General Introduction
(dates listed on the registration form) or scheduled as a
separate group of 5 or more. Gift Certificate available.
Contact us for more information.
Equipment: Light-weight equipment is critical for
learning properly. Therefore, equipment is provided for the
private lessons. This saves the cost of investing in
equipment right away, particularly for youth. |
