Archery lessons: a guide for pros
What customers ask, how to win the job, and what to put on your profile.
Offering archery lessons
You teach archers stance, draw, aim and release, and you fit bows to the shooter. Your lessons work best when you fix the draw and anchor first, then build a release the shooter can repeat.
What customers ask
- Can you help me get tighter groups?
- Do you fit bows?
- What equipment do I need?
- Do you teach hunters?
- Do you teach children?
- How long before I can shoot competitively?
How to win the job
- On the first call, ask the shooter's experience, draw length if known and their goal, then say what you will check first
- Measure the draw length and check the bow fit on the first session before the shooter takes a shot
- Watch the first few shots from the side and show the shooter the grouping on the target
- Put lesson length, range location, equipment supply and group size in the quote
- Teach one change at a time, and let the shooter see the grouping improve after each change
- End each lesson with a home drill and a target for the next session
What to put on your profile
- Photos of your lessons at the range, with student consent, showing form and safety briefings
- Your archery instruction certification listed by name, if you hold one
- The levels you teach, from beginners to competitive shooters
- The ranges where you teach and the equipment you provide
- Whether you run private, semi-private or group lessons
Follow-up that helps the customer
- A home dry-fire or stance drill sheet with a target
- A bow fitting session for shooters who need a new setup
- A hunting form session for shooters who plan a season
- A recheck session before a shoot or a hunting season
Licenses and permits
No license is usually required to teach archery. Keep any instructor certification current, carry liability insurance if the range requires it, and check with your state or local licensing agency for rules on range use, bow ownership and hunting that apply where you teach.
Questions
Do I need liability insurance to teach at a range?
Many ranges and clubs ask instructors to carry liability insurance before they teach there. Check the range rules and keep your certificate on your profile.
How do I handle a shooter who keeps changing their form?
Set one change at a time and track the grouping after each shot. Show the shooter the results on the target so they can see why one form works better.
