Currently the program is filling about 90 days early for all youth programming as classes are restricted  in size. The restriction is to insure that we will have space for you our your athlete in our upper level programming which is running at almost full capacity. We don’t want you to start your archery journey and not have a way top continue your development. 

Our upper level program is the 2022 USA Archery Club Excellence Awards recipient. This award is given to the top club for that year in developing talented and competitive archers. In 2022, our teams demonstrated sportsmanship and integrity while working to be the best they can be. We achieved placing 3 members on the United States Archery team, as well as numerous national and state champions. 

Once you secure your spot, you are joining a great team.

If you are unable to secure a spot in our beginners training program, you may consider private training as an option until spots open up in more advanced programs. 

See full calendar at bottom of the page.

 

 

Our range requires that all participants wear a closed toe shoe. Sandals and Flip flops which do not enclose the toe are not permitted for participants. Spectators are welcome to wear these types of shoes.

 

Interesting Fact: Athletes may not shoot the same as their dominate hand. It’s really important in archery to shoot based on how you SEE the target. This is referred to eye dominance. Here is an article to find out more about how this works.
