Class Equipment Provided

For this class, all students will be using the Genesis bow. This is the best bow for new archers! It's easily adjustable, and we have adult and youth sizes available. Having all archers on the same style of bow makes the learning experience more seamless.

Can I bring a bow?

Archers will use the Genesis bow for this session. If you have your own Genesis bow, you're welcome to bring it!

If you have a full size compound bow or a recurve bow, the single Intro class sessions will be a better fit.

What's the level after this class?

At the end of these sessions, you'll be able to take the skills test to qualify for Intermediate classes. Everyone progresses at different rates, and students who don't pass for Intermediate are welcome to take single session Intro classes to continue to work on skill development. In general, adults with an athletic or archery background tend to pass the skills test on a faster timeline; it may take a while for youth archers to qualify. We've had students take anywhere from 1 week to 1 year to pass to intermediate!
