What is our instruction philosophy?
Group Lessons & Private Coaching
XQuest Archery offers instruction for all levels of archery skill levels from youngsters to the young at heart. Archery is a life-long sport in which the entire family can participate. We follow Archery Canada‘s model for Long Term Athlete Development.
Never shot an arrow before? No problem. Our Learn to Shoot (Level 1 & Level 2) courses will provide you with the basics to this archery world. The follow-up programs will build on what you have learned.
We offer group lessons and programs to improve and challenge your archery skills. Private Coaching instruction is also available for those wanting a more tailored one-on-one approach.
For the younger archers, we have a Family Program and a Junior Badge Program (not available at this time)
Want to practice? If you are enrolled in a lesson, you can practice whenever the range is open. Drop-in fees are $10 for those who are enrolled in a current course session at Xquest Archery (participant must have completed the first class of the session dealing with range safety). Drop-in sessions are not available during the pandemic.
