Grand opening May 4, 2024 (under new management by The WAY)

Way of the Sword Archery is a sanctioned Team USA Archery Club specializing in Junior Olympic Archery Development (JOAD) for ages 8+ as well as adults. JOAD programs follow Team USA Archery protocols and are designed to teach the skills necessary for competitive archery using compound, recurve, or barebow.

WAY of the Sword is excited to bring years of experience in obtaining measurable competitive results. We know the path forward takes dedication and commitment and, consequently, are building a new 10-lane range with 10 & 20 yard shoot distances. Further, we have all the specialized equipment in house for beginner to intermediate shooters to explore before they decide which bow is right for them.

Please help welcome our new JOAD Head Coach Mr. James Wilson. Mr. Wilson is a newly retired teacher, Team USA Certified Coach Level 3, tournament judge, and competitive shooter. With years of experience managing students and working with parents, Mr. Wilson is uniquely qualified to launch and lead this program. Further, he is currently studying for his level 4 certification and we look forward to the added benefits this certification will yield our club in the future.

We make archery fun and educational, striking just the right balance between technical skill building while letting those arrows fly. Beginners will learn how to hold a bow properly, nock an arrow, and execute basic shooting form. As students progress through sessions, they will work on improving their aim, consistency, and power all while building confidence and earning advancement to the intermediate class.

We will award Team USA achievement pins and lanyards.
