Advanced TutorialS

ArrowPath Archery Academy conducts tutorial sessions centered around various topics within the sport, or that compliment the sport well that can not be address during regular instruction sessions. During these optional sessions, which WILL NOT count towards your monthly sessions, you get an opportunity to ask questions, and learn more advanced skills and information. Once again, these sessions are COMPLETELY Optional. Notifications will be sent out via email and text to advise of upcoming advanced tutorial sessions. 

Here are a few examples of additional Advanced Tutorials you can schedule as a member:

  • Archery Specific: Sessions covering Arrow Tuning, Aiming Methods, Judging Distances and Wind, 3D Archery.

  • Navigation: Topics/practicals regarding Environmental, Solar, Celestial, and Magnetic Navigation.

  • Mock Tournaments: There will be opportunities to participate in mock tournaments for preparation purposes.

Competition Preparation

​It does not matter what your level of experience is. If you are already confident in knowing that you would like to pursue competition, or after some time, you decide to pursue competition, lesson plans and a layout of your journey can begin immediately. Please reach out to Coach Chris regarding this so we can work out a plan together to work towards your goals. Please also take a look at becoming a member of NFAA in order to be one step closer to access to tournaments and competitions. 

Adaptive Archery

The beautiful thing about Archery is that regardless of any physical or mental impairments, THERE ARE NO LIMITS. The human mind and body is capable of accomplishing many things and it has been proven throughout history.  Adaptive Archery is exactly what it sounds like, no matter what we experience in life we are humans, ...We adapt and overcome!" ArrowPath Archery Academy does not set up adaptive archery as a separate category. All people can participate in archery without having to feel as though they are alienated. ArrowPath does not play around with treating people differently because they may be different in anyway.
