ARCHERY Lessons

A beautiful sport, wonderfully accessible to all ages and physical abilities

 Traditional archery with a recurve or longbow starts with the timeless simplicity of the "stick and string". From there, it's all technique and your individual style. 


Archery is a wonderful activity to do with a friend or two! Sessions  are private and customized to focus on your specific goals, and equipment is available at no extra fee.  I have a variety of activities and games to keep it fun. 


Instruction begins in spring, as soon as temperatures are comfortable. See the course descriptions and time guidelines below to estimate your cost. Once we’ve connected, we’ll talk together to understand your specific goals, and we’ll design a custom course, just for you!
