This ancestorial skill is a cumulation of dedication, technique, and focus. For centuries traditional archery has drawn many into it's unexplainable ability to give us a sense of peace while at the same time driving us forward in an attempt to achieve mastery at even greater levels. An essential mentality we need for all areas of our lives.
Archery Course Descriptions
We train in the traditional English style of the longbow and recurve bow, usually this style brings into mind stories like Robin Hood and medieval archery tournaments. This style is focused on distance and accuracy which equates perfectly with target archery and bowhunting. ​You will learn to shoot WITHOUT sights and WITHOUT the frustration of having to judge distances.
Compound bows and horsebows (Mongolian) are different styles and are not currently taught at Ranger's Ridge
