Ready, Aim, Fire!
Participants will enjoy working on their bowman skills as well as learning how to safely use basic archery equipment. Groups will practice shooting aluminum shaft arrows with adjustable tension compound bows at standard archery targets. An experienced adult holding an Archery certification from NASP or 4-H may lead this activity provided an Upham Woods staff has oriented them.

Accessibility notes:
Upham Woods has different sized bows with draw weights of 6-20lbs for individuals of varying strength. We also have a laminated visual instruction guide for individuals who learn best with visual aids as reinforcements.
