Courtney B. says, "If you’re looking for the real deal, you’ve found it. It can be hard to determine who to entrust your practice to with so many options for teachers and styles out there right now in martial arts. Master Dunchok stays very true to the art, tradition, and lineage of Kuk Sool Kwan, which encompasses everything (and then some) of any other fighting style out there. I highly recommend him and his studio. Suitable for all levels, from novice to expert." Read more

Your archery questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.

How much do archery classes cost?

Group archery classes cost $15 to $30 per session for a 60- to 90-minute class. The cost depends on the class type and length, the coach's experience and reputation, the facility, and your location. Group classes are a great option for beginners or students looking for a more affordable way to learn. You'll receive instruction on proper form, safety, and techniques while sharing archery range time with other students. These classes also offer the benefit of learning alongside others, which can be both motivating and fun.

Other expenses to keep in mind include range time fees, club membership, and USA Archery membership:

  • Practice time at the range between classes is crucial for developing your skills. Most ranges offer open shooting time for $10 to $20 per hour for non-members and unlimited range access for $150 to $250 per year for club members.
  • USA Archery annual membership fees are $50 for youth, $70 for adults, and $150 for families. Many archery competitions are only open to USA Archery members.

How much do private archery lessons cost?

Private archery lessons cost $45 to $80 per hour and are ideal for students seeking more personalized instruction. Private lessons with an experienced archery coach allow for more focused attention on your specific needs and goals, making them ideal for beginners who want to speed up their learning and experienced archers looking to hone their skills.

What should I wear to archery class?

Follow these guidelines when choosing what to wear to archery class:

  • Wear comfortable, form-fitting clothes that won't interfere with the bowstring.
  • Avoid loose sleeves and jewelry.
  • Closed-toe shoes are essential for safety, and most archery ranges require them.
  • If you have long hair, tie it back to prevent it from getting in the way or getting snagged in the bowstring.

Do I need my own bow and equipment for archery class?

Most archery ranges provide all the necessary basic equipment—including bows, arrows, and protective gear—for introductory and beginner-level classes. As you progress, you may want to invest in your own equipment, and the ideal equipment for you will vary significantly depending on your preferred archery style. Talk with your coach before making any purchases to ensure you get the right gear for your skill level and archery style.

How long does it take to learn archery?

The length of time it takes to learn archery varies greatly depending on a person's aptitude, practice frequency, and goals. Most people can learn basic archery skills in a few lessons, but mastering the sport takes years of practice and dedication. Consistent practice and proper instruction are key to improvement.

Are there any physical requirements for archery classes?

Archery students can benefit from good upper body strength, core stability, and focus. However, people with physical limitations can often participate with adapted equipment or techniques. Always consult with an instructor or healthcare provider if you have concerns about your ability to participate.

What are the different archery styles?

Different archery styles can affect the type of classes offered, equipment needed, and cost. When choosing archery classes, consider which style interests you most. Many beginners start with basic target archery before exploring other styles. Some facilities offer introductory courses that let you try multiple styles to find your preference.

Here are the main styles you might encounter:

Target archery:

  • Description: Shooting at stationary circular targets at set distances
  • Class focus: Precision, form, and scoring
  • Equipment: Typically uses recurve or compound bows
  • Cost impact: Generally the most common and affordable style for beginners

Field archery:

  • Description: Shooting at targets of varying sizes and distances, often in woodland settings
  • Class focus: Distance estimation, shooting uphill/downhill, and adapting to different environments
  • Equipment: Can use various bow types; may require more diverse arrow selection
  • Cost impact: Classes might be slightly more expensive due to the need for varied terrain and targets.

3D archery:

  • Description: Shooting at three-dimensional animal-shaped targets, simulating hunting scenarios
  • Class focus: Realistic hunting practice, distance estimation, and shooting at odd angles
  • Equipment: Often uses compound bows or traditional bows
  • Cost impact: Classes could be pricier due to the cost of 3D targets and maintenance of courses.

Traditional archery:

  • Description: Using traditional bows like longbows or recurves without modern sighting systems
  • Class focus: Instinctive shooting, historical techniques, and equipment crafting
  • Equipment: Simpler bows, often wooden arrows
  • Cost impact: Classes might be less expensive due to simpler equipment, but specialized instructors could charge more.

Olympic recurve:

  • Description: The style used in Olympic competitions
  • Class focus: High-precision target archery with specific technique and equipment rules
  • Equipment: Recurve bows with specific allowed accessories
  • Cost impact: Can be more expensive due to specialized equipment and highly trained instructors

What questions should I ask an archery coach?

When choosing an instructor, look for coaches and instructors with USA Archery certification, which is recognized by the National Field Archery Association (NFAA), the Archery Shooters Association (ASA), and other nationwide organizations.

Ask the coach these questions before you sign up for archery classes:

  • What is your coaching experience and certification level?
  • Which styles of archery do you teach?
  • How many students are in a typical group class?
  • Do I need my own equipment or do you provide equipment for the class?
  • Does the class price include equipment rental fees?
  • Do you offer discounts for booking multiple lessons?
  • Is there a pathway for progression to competitive archery?
  • What safety measures are in place during classes?
  • Can you accommodate archers with physical limitations?

This is truly a life enhancing experience. I walked in as a curious 29 year old not knowing much about martial arts, and not the most confident about my abilities to protect myself and family from extreme circumstances. Regardless of if a threat was ever going to happen; I felt that I needed to be ready for it. Master Mike has been key to my learning and development. His ability to teach and transfer his knowledge surpasses many of the coaches I have had during my professional basketball career. My only regret is that I didn’t join earlier in my life. I walk in dark alleys confident that I’m ready for anything. When people walk behind me, I’m prepared for anything. And this allows me to be calmer and more grounded. No wild thoughts enter my head. No impractical worries take space in the sanctuary of my mind. I’m in the warmth and solace of my abilities and find calmness and confidence because of all my lessons in martial arts. I recommend this to any and everyone.

Christophe was very patient. We had a 2 hour introductory safety course where my 16 year old daughter and I took the time we needed to get comfortable with the firearm. Christophe is very knowledgeable and his background made him immediately approachable.
