Archery 1

 Introduction to archery and archery safety. If you have never shot a bow and arrow before, or it has been a number of years since you have, then this is the class for you.

 USA Archery certified Instructors will teach you the basics and how to be safe doing so. This is a 4 week class for 1 hour per week for a total of 4 one hour classes.

 All equipment is provided, but if you do happen to have your own bow and arrows, please feel free to bring it. All equipment must meet safety guidelines to be shot in class. Instructor approval is required before class begins. If your bow draw weight is in excess of 40lbs, you will be required to shoot at a smaller target.

 NIAO wants to see you meet the goals for advancing. Each level of archery will bring new challenges.

 Successful completion of Archery 1 is required to advance to Archery 2.
