Archery
LEARN THE PROPER TECHNIQUES
Fresh off the National Championship Competition in South Dakota for the National Field Archery Association, Stephen McGuire will be coaching for Old Town Gymnastics!
In archery class you will learn the basics: the types of bows, proper stance & mechanics, how to load & anchor an arrow, good form & posture, how to hold the bow correctly, stretching the muscles and muscle development that are needed for archery, the mental side of archery (focus and concentration) and more!
Develop the skill, muscular connection, mobility, and mental game to do it, from the backyard/local to national level; wherever in that range you find joy. Unlike many other sports, this is a journey you can stay on your whole life, walk away from and come back to, and start, really at any time. The bow doesn’t care if you’re 8, 55 or 75, etc., it just wants to be shot!
Archery is a great sport for any ability and for most ages! This training is open to adults and children over the age of 8. Currently our classes are outside so dress appropriately for the weather: tennis shoes (no sandals/flip flops), no large baggy shirts, long hair should be pulled back and bring a water bottle and any personal archery gear.
Bring your own equipment or equipment can be made available as needed.
See Schedule to check for dates and times. Visit Tuition & Fees for pricing.
