2017 Advanced Development Clinics

Introduction to performance archery & competition

The Archers & Bowhunters Association of Manitoba will be hosting four advance development clinics with a focus on introduction to performance archery & competition format. The clinics are looking to attract archers that have taken lessons and are eager to take the next step toward more frequent practice and competition.

The clinics are planned with the intent to have participants enrolled in all four dates, though it is open for participants to enroll in any of the four clinics. 

Some of the clinic content will include competition format & advanced equipment knowledge and mock tournament play. The course will be coached by advanced level coaches with knowledge and background in both Compound & Recurve Archery.
