I have updated my archery lesson rates and changed how I operate my lessons. Starting in September 2025 I now do archery courses: Each course contains 3 lessons and the total time requirement is 5.5 hours. I have also changed my pricing.
Why? Because after 17 years of teaching archery I have changed careers and am officially retired from teaching archery. Unofficially, I will still teach if I am available, the weather is good (and my arthritis isn't acting up).
