9:00 AM - 10:15 AM	Archery Classes - Kids Archery - Summer 2026 - Session 2 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.
