ROBIN HOOD (Level 1)
Ages 8+ (Adults encouraged)
Beginner Traditional Archery, Target Archery
This is our foundational archery course perfect for beginners of all ages. You will learn the basics from bow and arrow parts, range safety, and basic form. We highlight the 3 principles of FORM, FOCUS, and FUN in our classes to get the student on target as fast as possible with the least frustration.
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. You will learn to shoot WITHOUT sights and WITHOUT the frustration of having to judge distances.
