Archery Lessons for Beginners in 2024
Flint Bowmen offers basic instruction for the beginning archer throughout the year at a minimal cost. We stress safety at all times when using a bow and arrow. Instructors teach the absolute basics such as how to hold the bow, how to load the arrows, and how to shoot properly. We emphasize the importance of proper stance and repetitiveness that is needed to shoot well and have fun with archery. These lessons are great for families, kids, ladies, or men who want to learn how to shoot a bow for the first time or anyone with very, very little experience and the desire to learn how to shoot a bow correctly. These lessons are not for someone who has been shooting for years and wants to get ready for the Olympics!

The cost is $5.00 per class for non-member children and $10.00 for non-member adults. These lessons are open to the public and are great for the whole family. Bow rental is $2.00 per class for those who need them. These lessons usually last about 1.5 hours to 2 hours depending on how long students want to shoot.
Please call, text or email Mike Alexander at lealexander@comcast.net or 810-240-1338 register for the class. Pre-Registration is required so we have an adequate number of instructors on hand.
Registrations the day of class may not be accepted. We start right at 6:00 PM so please come at least 15-20 minutes early to get signed up.
Classes can be paid by check, cash or credit cards the night of the class.
It makes it very difficult to conduct the class when students show up after 6:00 PM so you may be unable to join the class in progress.
Testimonials
"I was very apprehensive being a women and wanting to shoot a bow. Mike gave me and my girlfriends lessons and made us feel so comfortable. Not only did we feel comfortable, but we had lots of laughs. Felt very at ease here and can’t wait to take more lessons!"
