Massey Archery Club (MAC) is a field archery club, where shooting is set out in beautiful bushland with many targets to shoot at varying distances – some are marked (the distance is marked on pegs) and some are unmarked so you have to learn to judge distances – lots of fun!

The Introduction to Archery course caters for all ages. No previous archery experience is required. Club training equipment will be provided. If you have your own gear you are welcome to bring it along. These classes are run indoors so weather and lack of sun are not an issue.

Archery 101 at Advanced Archery
Archery 101 is suitable for all ages and no previous experience is required. All equipment is supplied if you do not have your own bow. We use recurve and compound bows, you can try them both if you're not sure what you prefer. Training is done indoors at a time to suit you. One-on-one coaching is the quickest and most enjoyable way to achieve your goals in the sport and ensure you learn the correct techniques from the start. Your coach, Isa or Carol, will work with you individually to find the best way for you to learn a consistent shot process. More importantly we'll get you started on the path to developing your 'inner game' of archery. Carol is also a trained TAGteacher, using techniques that work brilliantly with shooters of any age, including those who have issues with concentration and traditional learning techniques. In just two sessions you will be well on the way to mastering the eleven steps of good shooting form.
'Archery 101 for Adults' 2 x 45mins archery lessons for only $200 (a/h $230)
'Archery 101 for Juniors' 3 x 30mins archery lessons for only $200 (a/h $230)
