Lessons
Ever wanted to try archery but didn’t have the equipment? No problem.
Half an hour is enough to find out whether you like this. Everything you need is here.
You do not need to own anything, know anything, or be in any particular shape. You need closed-toe shoes and an hour.
Your instructor measures you first: draw length off your actual anchor, and a draw weight you can hold comfortably rather than the most you can haul back once. Then a bow gets fitted to those numbers, and you shoot from close range where every arrow hits and the only thing to think about is the shot itself.
Distance goes back a step at a time, once the shot holds together. Somewhere in there you will put an arrow exactly where you meant to, and you will feel the difference.

Questions
Lessons and kids, answered.
How old does a child have to be?
Seven years old to shoot on the range and to take a lesson. Every child has to be with a parent or guardian while they are here.
How long is a lesson?
Half an hour or a full hour. A half hour is plenty for a first try. An hour is better if you want to actually start grooving a shot.
Do I need my own equipment for a lesson?
No. Ever wanted to try archery but did not have the equipment? That is exactly what the lesson rate with our gear is for. Bring yourself and closed-toe shoes.
Do lessons have to be booked ahead?
Yes. All lessons are booked in advance and a deposit is required. Use the booking form or call the store during business hours.
Who is the summer camp for?
Kids from age seven up. We run around a hundred and thirty kids through camp over a summer, in small groups, with certified instruction and all the equipment provided.
Can we do a birthday party on the range?
We do. Parties include equipment, range time, instruction and targets. A deposit is required and it is non-refundable, so pick your date carefully.
Talk to a pro
After the first lesson.
Most people take a few more, then join a league. That is where this gets social, and social is why people are still shooting here thirty years later.
