Surviving from the Wild to the Homestead
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.
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.
MARKSMAN (Level 2)
Advanced Traditional Archery, Angled Archery
Ages 8+ (Adults encouraged)
Requires completion of ROBIN HOOD Course
In this course you will continue to build on the skills from the Robin Hood course. You will be challenged further by learning to shoot at angles downward and upward and how to compensate your shot to still maintain that bullseye precision. You will also learn shooting from awkward positions such as standing on uneven ground, sitting, kneeling, and squatting.
RANGER (Level 3)
Extreme Traditional Archery, Mobile Archery
Ages 10+ (Adults encouraged)
Requires completion of ROBIN HOOD & MARKSMAN Courses
For those that want to become the BEST ARCHER IN THE LAND, we bring you the full Ranger Course. This course is all about mobility. You will shoot at moving targets of various speeds and then become mobile yourself as you move, draw, and shoot as a single motion. Only after owning these skills will you be worthy to stand proud with the other Rangers.
