Instructors

Instructors are the bread and butter of Trojan Archery, and all operations would cease without them! Only certified instructors are allowed to operate and manage an active range – we would not be able to hold practice without our wonderful instructors. Only certified instructors are allowed to teach the sport to ensure all archers are shooting safely, both for their own physical health and the safety of others on the range.

USA Archery Instructor Certification Information

Club members also have the opportunity to gain instructor certifications through the nationally recognized USA Archery program. Any archer interested in learning more and willing to either run the range (range rules, whistle calls) or teach basic technique is encouraged to sign up for the subsidized class, which is typically held twice a year.

Trojan Archery hosts two certification classes per year at a subsidized cost for members. We successful train about a dozen new Instructors per year who dedicate their experience to train the next generation of Trojan Archers. Many of our Instructors go on to teach archery in their communities!
