Archery and Bowhunting Skills Workshop - La Pine
This is a two day beginner-level workshop where you will learn how to shoot a compound hunting bow from trained instructors.
Day 1: includes fast paced and hands-on training in basics of archery fundamentals, equipment, and theory. We provide all equipment, so just bring yourself, a lunch, and be ready to learn. This workshop is beginner level and designed for people with little to no archery experience.
Day 2: May 7th, we are offering a “next step” with our Bowhunter Skills class. This class is available to people with some archery experience or anyone who has attended our Archery Skills Workshop. During the Bowhunter Skills workshop, participants will be placed in a variety of hunting scenarios on a 3D archery course to better understand how to make ethical (and hopefully successful) decisions in the field. This workshop can also fulfill the Bowhunter Education field day for participants who have completed the Bowhunter Education online course. You will be required to pass a written test and competency shoot to receive your Bowhunter Education certification.
