Next Step Archery
The "Next Step" in archery lessons
Junior Olympic Archery Development or JOAD for short (pronounced 'joe-add) is part of a national program designed to encourage children's participation in archery. It offers kids a chance to train for competition and get to know other local archers while improving fundamental skills, learning advanced techniques, and perfecting an individual and consistent shooting style.
No experience is needed to join. We tailor JOAD for both the competitive archer and the recreational archer. Our goal is to provide a fun atmosphere focused on critical skill development that foster the development of lifetime shooting skills and a love of archery. Click here for more information.
Next Step Archery offers hour-long, private one-on-one or two on one (duel) coaching lessons open to anybody - from a complete beginner to seasoned adult archers. Lessons are with either the Team Nock Point members or with Next Step Archery’s Head Coach Bob Hickey. All coaches are NAA certified.
Pricing
Coaching session with Team Nock Point members is $40 for a 1 hour private lesson (one student, one coach) or $60 for a 1 hour dual-lesson (two students, one coach)
Coaching session with Coach Bob Hickey is $60 for a 1 hour private lesson or $80 for a 1 hour dual-lesson (two students, one coach). Each archer will be filmed with state-of-the-art, Multi-View Video Analysis equipment, edited with Dartfish Software. Archers will be digitally recorded and reviewed from 4 different angles, then will be analyzed by both Bob and the archer to greater refine technique. With Dartfish Software we are able to over-lay shots and detect even the most subtle inconsistencies. Each archer will be given a burned CD with his/her shots from the different angles to use for reference. This type of instant feedback is a fantastic tool for all archers!
All equipment and safety gear is provided at no additional costs. Acceptable forms of payment are cash or check. Please make checks payable to "Next Step Archery".

No one in my group has any archery experience. Should we still come?
Absolutely! In fact, we know that very few people have shot before, so our sessions are tailored to the needs of complete beginners at any age. Of course, archers who do have experience are more than welcome too!
What should we wear?
Wear lightweight, comfortable, non baggy clothes and flat soled shoes.
Is there a minimum age?
Yes. Children less than 6 should not be shooting in a group for various reasons. If your child is under 6, then we would suggest a private lesson to see if they can properly handle our bows without too much strain and under the watchful eye of a coach.
Can it be held in another location?
No. For liability reasons and logistics, we can only hold an event at The Nock Point archery range. Driving directions and map can be found here.
