ROBIN HOOD (Level 1)
Beginner Traditional Archery, Target Archery
Ages 8+ (Adults encouraged)
No Course prerequisites to be eligible to take this class
This is our foundational archery course perfect for beginners of all ages. You will learn the basics from bow and arrow anatomy, range safety, and critical form. We highlight the 3 principles of FORM, FOCUS, and FUN in our classes to get the student on target as fast as possible.
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.
