Talking Archery Lessons

Wondering where in southern alberta a person could get some lessons ( Calgary and south). I go out and shoot my deer target and sometimes I shoot pretty good but then some days not so good. I love to practice but I want to practice good habits not re-enforce bad ones.

Thanks in advance

I assume you are in Taber. Look up Tom Sekura in the phone book and give him a call. He will be able to help you out.

Thanks everyone. Yes I am from Taber. But you know when in Calgary I will have to check it out. OF course more local for me is great.

You probly wouldnt need lessons, just gotta practice till you can shoot consistently. and you gotta try to make sure your anchoring point is always the same. (this is advice someone gave me and it really worked)

I personally wouldn't spend any of my hard earned dollars at calgary archery...or any of my time for that matter!! If you want GOOD service from some one who actually cares... then go to Jim Bows Archery. That's a man who CARES about the sport. I haven't stepped foot in calgary archery for over a year and I still can't get the bad taste out of my mouth

X2 ......well not quite but similar as far as the taste anyways. Jimbos is hands down a great place to get great advice and no BS.

I have been going to the Calgary archery center for about 9 years and never ever had a problem with them.

Is the George Ryals IV course full? That would be a good one, it's aimed at target BUT form is form.
