Adult, youth archery classes available in Jackson County
Jackson County Parks and Recreation has announced two introductory archery programs this November, perfect for learning the fundamentals of shooting a bow and arrow in a safe and structured environment.
Archery 101 for youth ages 10-14 will introduce participants to the sport. Through the program, kids will learn the core principles of archery, including range safety, an overview of recurve and compound bows and the 10 essential steps of shooting (stance, nock, set, pre-draw, draw, anchor, aim, release, follow-through, and reflect).
The program will run 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 8, at the Cashiers/Glenville Recreation Center. Cost is $20 per participant.
The adult class, which will teach a similar skill set, will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 15, at the Jackson County Archery Range in Cullowhee. Cost is $30 per participant.
Equipment for both classes will be provided. Registration for each class must be completed no later than the day before the class.
Spaces are limited for both sessions. To learn more or to sign up, visit jcprd.recdesk.com or call 828.293.3053, ext. 4 then 5.
