Many people think the sport of archery is intuitive and requires little effort. In fact, archery is as much a martial art as Tai Chi and as physically precise as yoga or dance and requires mastery of numerous skills and techniques. Our First-Time class will set you on the path to becoming a skilled archer.
Who: The First-Time Archers class is open to everyone! Students, regardless of age, must be able to follow instructions and safely handle the equipment. Students under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian whom we encourage to also take the class.
Where: All students meet on the PRA practice range across the bridge from the parking lot (see map above).
When: Classes are held on Saturdays except on the first Saturday of each month. Classes may be cancelled because of weather or conflicts with other events. Whenever possible, advance notice of cancellations will be posted on the PRA website. Last-minute cancellations may also be posted on the PRA’s Facebook page.
Time: Saturday morning, 7:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. Students should arrive not later than 7:45 AM to be checked in and fitted for their equipment before class.
Cost: Due to the high number of last-minute cancellations and “no shows” there is now a $5.00 nonrefundable reservation fee for this class.
Equipment: All archery equipment is provided without charge. First-time archers will not be allowed to use their own equipment so please do not bring any to the range for your class.

IMPORTANT REGISTRATION NOTES:
NEW CLASSES ARE POSTED AT 12:00 NOON ON FRIDAYS AND OFTEN FILL WITHIN MINUTES OF BEING POSTED!
If all classes are full, check back later. While rare, we do occasionally have cancellations in which case a space, or spaces, will become available after registrations are filled.
Please don’t email us because you are having a hard time registering for classes. We understand your frustration but these classes are very popular and, to maintain the highest quality of education possible, we place strict limits on our student instructor ratio. There is no waiting list and “walk-ups” will not be accommodated under any circumstances.
