Dreams do come true!

I remember the moment that I became enamored with archery. I was 11 years old, reading the book "Wild Magic" by Tamora Pierce. The main character, Daine, was a teenage girl who always had a bow with her, and she was a wicked shot! From that moment, archery was something that I always wanted to try. 

I finally got my chance when I was 17 years old. The Girl Scout Camp I volunteered at every summer was starting an archery program, and I immediately signed up to be trained as an instructor. It was during my USA Archery Level I Instructor certification course that I finally got to try my first few shots, and I have been obsessed ever since! 

The really fun part about coaching is that I get to watch other people experience the same joy when they try their first shots, or hit the target for the first time, or get a bullseye! I especially love coaching people who tried it before and maybe didn't have the best experience. After 17 years of coaching, I am confident that every student will have a much better feeling for archery after I have had a chance to work with them. 

Archery is a sport for everyone. It is calming and meditative. It's adaptive. It teaches students body awareness, and the importance of both precision and accuracy. It's a sport that constantly allows you to compete against yourself, and against others if you desire.

For years, I have dreamed of expanding the archery program that I helped create as a Girl Scout volunteer to the community at large. I have wanted to make it more available and accessible to anyone who wants to learn. Now, the time has finally come and I could not be more excited! Welcome to ArrowDynamics!
