This weekend workshop is designed for our friends who want to dive deep into the practice of instinctive archery. We will shoot with traditional recurve bows that are easy to draw and simple to understand. This workshop is for those who are just getting started with archery, those who want to improve their form and aim, and those who want to practice archery in a supportive & empowering community of archers. Whether you want to shoot your bow as a spiritual meditative practice, to connect with your inner Katniss, or as an aspiring bow hunter, this weekend will teach you the foundational skills you need:
Proper archery stance
How to hold the bow
Developing a consistent anchor for your draw
How to determine your dominant eye
Determining safe a arrow length for you
Safety considerations when setting up a range at home
How to select basic equipment
Engaging your breath cycle while shooting
How to use archery to calm and focus your mind
Using archery for self understanding
What you need to learn if you want to become a safe & ethical bowhunter
Best of all, you'll get plenty of shooting practice! Since we can't shoot all day long (muscles get tired and form deteriorates) we'll do lots of shorter sessions at the range, mixed with other activities that may include learning about equipment, archery-related readings, enjoying the natural beauty of our site, reflection activities, and nature crafts. Expect a mix of stimulating learning, concrete practice, and relaxing group activities.
Our spring intensive is May 13-14, 2017 near Pelham, MA.
Class runs from 10am-5pm each day. The weekend tuition of $295 includes two hot lunches. Dinner and lodging are not included. Consider bringing a friend or family member with you, so you'll have an archery buddy when you get back home.
