Arete's '23-24 Archery program gets started on 9/1 with our Fall "Archery 101" program. Archery 101 is geared towards inexperienced Archers, but returning Archers are welcome to get involved for extra practice leading up to the competition season in November. Archery 101 is centered mostly around learn to shoot and repetition through practice. There is a NASP competition they will attend and compete at in mid October, at Chauncey Ranch in Mayer, AZ. The season also concludes with our "Boos and Arrows" Halloween family shoot, trunk or treat, chili cook off, and more!
