End of Session Shoot

At the conclusion of each session we host an End of Session (EOS) Shoot. This event allows students to compete against fellow students in their class level. Awards are given to the top shooters and each student will receive their certificate of completion.

This friendly competition is not a requirement for completion of the class, it’s just an opportunity to bring friends and family together to see what your athlete has accomplished so far! Click the button below for more information.

Explore Archery is a versatile education activity program that is fun, rewarding, progressive, and
most important – safe. In Explore Archery 1, students are exposed to the National Training
System (NTS) and the sport of archery over the 4-week program.

Whether participants are trying to pop a balloon or Save the Princess, they will stay engaged and keep coming back for more! No archery experience is required. Equipment is included.

Explore Archery 2 is the continuation in archery education from Explore Archery 1. In Explore
Archery 2, the instructors will go one step further in teaching the National Training System (NTS),
reinforcing rules, equipment knowledge and etiquette on the range.

Participants will focus on improving their shooting form through instruction and through playing games. Equipment is provided, but students are permitted to bring their own. Successfully passing Explore Archery 1, participation in our day camps, or belonging to a NASP team are prerequisites.

NOTE: At the completion of Explore Archery 2, archers are encouraged to continue to one of
our three new Pursue programs (Intermediate and Advanced Archery are no longer available).
Archers may now choose any of the following:

  • Pursue Competition Archery
  • Pursue Recreational Archery
  • Pursue Bowhunting and Bowfishing

Completion of Explore Archery 2 is the only prerequisite for any of those programs.
