Archery Classes - Adult Archery Beginner - Summer 2026 - Session I
Archery Classes 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.Advanced Archery This program is for returning archers who have previously take a class with coach Atreyu, Coach Beth or adults with previous experienc using the NTS shooting system for recurve bows. If you are not sure if you should register for the returning class please reach out for more information. It is for anyone age 9+ to adult who wants to participate in the sport of archery. Please feel free to bring a chair, water, and healthy snacks. All archers are required to wear closed-toed shoes. All equipment provided.

Archery Classes - Adult Archery Beginner - Summer 2026 - Session I
Archery Classes 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).

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.Advanced Archery This program is for returning archers who have previously take a class with coach Atreyu, Coach Beth or adults with previous experienc using the NTS shooting system for recurve bows. If you are not sure if you should register for the returning class please reach out for more information. It is for anyone age 9+ to adult who wants to participate in the sport of archery. Please feel free to bring a chair, water, and healthy snacks. All archers are required to wear closed-toed shoes. All equipment provided.

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.

Archery Classes - Adult Archery Beginner - Summer 2026 - Session I
Archery Classes 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.Advanced Archery This program is for returning archers who have previously take a class with coach Atreyu, Coach Beth or adults with previous experienc using the NTS shooting system for recurve bows. If you are not sure if you should register for the returning class please reach out for more information. It is for anyone age 9+ to adult who wants to participate in the sport of archery.

Archery Classes - Adult Archery Beginner - Summer 2026 - Session I
Archery Classes 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.Advanced Archery This program is for returning archers who have previously take a class with coach Atreyu, Coach Beth or adults with previous experienc using the NTS shooting system for recurve bows. If you are not sure if you should register for the returning class please reach out for more information. It is for anyone age 9+ to adult who wants to participate in the sport of archery. Please feel free to bring a chair, water, and healthy snacks. All archers are required to wear closed-toed shoes. All equipment provided. Try Archery Clinic Try Archery is for anyone age 9+ to adult who wants to participate in the sport of archery. This is a beginner series for new archers to learn range safety and basic shooting skills. Please feel free to bring a chair, water, and healthy snacks.
