There are five NFAA & USA Archery certified instructors at Dewclaw Archery. We offer private lessons to anyone who is interested in archery, as well as classes for those that are more comfortable in a group setting.
One on one lessons for beginners start you off with the very basics. Such as proper equipment, terminology, safety, and sizing. Then we move to the indoor shooting lane for some hands on learning by walking you through the shot sequence and letting you take your first shot. By the end of your first lesson you will have a good understanding of what it takes to execute your shot from start to finish. As we progress through the “beginner” stage toward “intermediate,” we will help you to fine tune each step of your shot sequence.
Lessons for Intermediate Archers
We see intermediate archers as those who have a solid grasp on shooting form, and have been shooting for at least six months on their own. Archery is a sport that requires not only repetition and discipline, but also experience. It takes time shooting your bow for one to develop “harmony” with your setup. Meaning that you know how you and your equipment will react when you execute a good shot, and when you make a mistake as well. As we instruct intermediate archers, we not only look for flaws in your shot sequence and shooting form we also present techniques to help you become more aware of mistakes and how to correct them.
Advanced Archers
You have been shooting your bow for several years at least. You know what a good shot looks and feels like, but you may struggle with certain aspects of your shooting form or your shot sequence. We have over 40 years of combined hunting and target shooting experience with both recurve and compound bows and we’re here to help! We can employ various methods to help you overcome different hurdles that archers face when the pressure is on. Sometimes all it takes is someone with an expert eye to point you in the right direction.
