Q & A
What do I need to bring? If you have your own archery equipment, bring that. Glasses, if you wear them. Otherwise, we will figure out your dominant eye for aiming and fit a bow to you. We'll also supply arrows, a shooting glove or trigger release, and an armguard for safety.
What should I wear? Comfortable clothing and shoes. Hoodie strings, scarves, and extremely dangly sleeves should be avoided but you'll be wearing an armguard so regular long sleeves are fine. The majority of sessions are indoors, so rainwear is not needed.
When should I arrive? Ten minutes before the beginning of class is great! Then we can begin shooting right on time.
How many other archers will be there? Up to 10, with rare exceptions.
Will I be able to watch my child's class? Yep! There are seats at the back of the range. We ask that you keep conversations down to library volume. There is also ample seating upstairs in the meeting room.
Can I learn to shoot a traditional recurve, or a modern compound bow? Absolutely. We keep all equipment categories in the same class and address the differences as we go.
What can I do with all my archery skills? You can hunt, of course, or join us at shoots and tournaments for fun or competition. Our students compete locally and at provincial championships, travel to national competitions, and more! High-school-aged archers can train to for the OHSAIT shoot (OFFSA equivalent). Club members also shoot in-house leagues.
Is archery a good way to relieve stress or meditate? Yes! Click here for full post.
