In the summers I work at a local day camp, and this year the director was offering to train staff to teach Target Archery. Immediately when I saw the words, “archery,” I did not hesitate to take her up on this offer. Today I was trained by the friendly owner of Ace Archers out of Foxboro, MA.
The training was very professional and informative. We learned not only how to shoot, but how to teach campers how to safely and successfully shoot with a bow. Before the camp starts I feel I need to practice a bit more before I am totally comfortable coaching the campers on the specifics, but I plan on going to the shop to use their range for the reasonable rate of $12/hour for unlimited arrows (including rental equipment and instruction). After today’s class I am now Level 1 Certified to teach Archery! I hope to upgrade to higher levels eventually.
