This session is booked fully. Interested students should consider either private lessons, or waiting until the 2024 indoor instructional season.
Beginner Adult classes run for 6 weeks, one hour per week, covering The Ten Basic Steps to Good Shooting for archers and families ages 15 years and up. South Nation Archery supplies all the equipment. Students should bring indoor shoes and wear snug-fitting clothing on the upper body.
