Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need my own equipment?
No! All beginner and junior courses include equipment. For ongoing training, we recommend purchasing your own bow once you've completed the beginner course. Our pro shop can help with equipment selection.
What should I wear?
Wear comfortable, close-fitting clothing. Avoid loose sleeves or jewelry that could interfere with the bowstring. Closed-toe shoes are required. We'll provide arm guards and finger protection.
Is archery safe for kids?
Archery has an excellent safety record when proper protocols are followed. Our junior coaches are specifically trained in youth safety, and we use age-appropriate equipment. Parent orientation covers all safety procedures.
Can I try before committing to a full course?
Yes! We offer 1-hour trial sessions for R[XXX] where you'll get basic instruction and shoot on our range. This is a great way to see if archery is right for you before enrolling in the full course.
What if I miss a session?
We understand life happens! You can make up one missed session during our regular training times with advance notice. Our coaches will catch you up on anything you missed.
