If you choose to send a Money Order or Cashiers check, it must be received prior to the start of class. NO PERSONAL CHECKS ACCEPTED! 

Beginners between 8 and 18 years of age are welcomed. With younger archers it is extrememly critical that they have good listening skills and can follow basic instructions. All of our classes are taught by volunteer NAA certified Instructors. The student to instructor ratio is 5:1. Students may be removed from sessions due to the ir inability fo focus and follow directions and safety rules. Are goal is for all interested children to have the opportunity to try archery, have fun and learn the basic fundamentals and shooting techniques of Recurve and Compound Bows in a safe environment. All necessary equipment is available and limited for the students to use or you may bring your own.

The cost is $45.00/per session (4 hours of instruction-divided into four classes) and pre-registration is required for all students. Walk-in students are not allowed.

All interested students must enroll in the Introduction to Archery and Safety first. (Session A) This class teaches range rules, proper bow handling and the 9 steps to the 10-ring. Session B is available upon completion. This class teaches more advanced shooting Forms and Techniques, along with how to keep score for a JOAD round.

Safety Notice
When safety rules are not followed, archery can be dangerous. Although injuries are rare, they still can happen. If you wish to have your child participate in this program, you must be aware of the dangers of a shooting sport. Shooting archery in our program will be conducted under the course supervision of approved N.A.A. Certified Level II Instructor(s) who will minimize all possible dangers. Do we have your permission to render basic first aid, should the need arise? 

In order to demonstrate or show your child how to accomplish the proper bow arm position, back tension, stance, release, etc., sometimes the instructor may need to touch arms, shoulders, neck, head, hands, feet and back to help place them into the correct shooting position. Do you object to your child being touched within these parameters?

Do we have permission to place your child's photo and name on the club website, newspaper, brochure or photo album 


Instructor has the right to refuse any student, parent or guardian who does not follow the Archery Range Rules and does not conduct themselves in an appropriate manner. Archery Range Rules are attached below for your review and to discuss with your child.
