Bring your archery knowledge and coaching skills to the next level
Which Level is Right for You?
Level 1 is not a pre-requsite for Level 2. You can do both, or skip Level 1.
Level 1 focuses on how to run a safe range, basic NTS steps of shooting, walking a new archer through their first shot, and intro coaching techniques. This is good for scout or camp leaders who want to provide instruction for a safe shooting environment with basic archery equipment.
Level 2 covers also covers safety, but also includes basic equipment inspection. This level spends more time on the NTS steps of shooting for recurve and compound bows. You will learn additional coaching techniques. This will cover drills to help beginner archers develop biomechanically correct form.

A minimum of 8 students is needed to hold class. If you have a group you would like to get certified, please contact us. Private, individual certifications are possible, however this is very cost prohibitive as we have to rent range space for a single person for an entire day.
