Have any of you attended a traditional archery shooting school that you would recommend? I shoot longbows.
Thanks,
Rob
I have been to the Rod Jenkins clinic and would reccomend it to anyone looking to improve their shooting!
Bisch
Rod Jenkins as well.
Moots get ahold of Britt there is a Rod Jenkins clinic in Greeley early in 2014. Last I knew there were a couple openings left
Thanks Cory. I sent an email to Britt.
Any other archery school suggestions?
Thank you,
Rob
Rick Welch or Rod Jenkins.
If Rod is anywhere nearby.........GO!!!
I'd recommend Rod or Bob Wesley of Whispering Pines in NC. I attended their schools and got good information and coaching from both.
Cant' beat Rod Jenkins class. You better go with an open mind though. Its amazing how married we are to our bad habits and things we learned incorrectly
I went to Bob Wesley this year and when I got back I had 2 bowyers say that they could teach me more and both did. Your source for learning should be open to many improvements. Each teacher has his way and you will pick up a few things from each I think. It also helps to rehash your form with different people watching you. I know each has helped me correct little details.
If you go see Rod your only regret will be that you had not done it sooner....best of luck.
Another vote from me for Rod. Learned a lot and became a better archer from his clinic. I'll put on one here if I can next year.
I can't say enough good things about Rod Jenkins. I went to his clinic last March with an open mind and a willingness to learn, and I can tell you for sure that it has paid off. Good luck.
p.s. big fan of Moots... have a Vamoots.
I just signed up for a G. Fred Asbell class, I'll let ya know if he's able to help a knucklehead like myself. :knothead: :biglaugh:
Another vote for Rod, I've had him down to my place 3 or 4 times now for clinics and in addition to a whole bunch of folks greatly improving, I pick up something new each and every time!
He rarely does clinics any longer, Olympic archer coach and avid recurve/LB hunter, Tim Strickland would be my choice if I wanted help.
By the way, most of these fellows know each other pretty well. You'll hear interesting reports about their methods from their "competition".
The one huge RED FLAG for me if I were considering a coach would be to know whether or not he/she has on-going Target Panic. Believe it or not, some who teach, do. Past tense is ok but on-going is not. Correcting and preventing TP must be among the instructor's ability.
Thanks!
I just signed up for a Rod Jenkin's class scheduled for Greeley, CO on Feb. 6-7th. If it fills, the class will go forward. Three spots left, I think.
This will be a great start for me if it works out.
Yes Nittany Rider, I have a Vamoots as well.
Rob
I need to find a class this summer. Hope one is within driving distance.
Jeff, check out Rick Welch's class in Little Rock. It might be within driving distance, depending on which side of Texas you live on. Heck, even most of Texas isn't in driving distance if you live in El Paso! I really learned a lot from Rick's class, and would recommend it to anybody.
The dates for Colorado clinic are Feb. 7th and 8th.
DVD's are a great tool too depending on what you are looking for. I just finished Joel Turner's Target Panic DVD-cured!!! :archer2:
Mr. Moots, Why not go to the best, Mr. Arne Moe. He is a Level 4 Coach and has a true gift. 218-999-7362....James
HE HE, Thank you James, that endorsement means a LOT coming from you!!! I've been to Rod's class and it is well worth while!
I have been approached a couple times to do a "clinic" but nothing has "panned" out yet. Trouble is that Northern Minnesota isn't within driving distance of "anywhere." I do do many one on one sessions with folks, their only expense is getting here.
Arne
Rick Welch school was very helpful for me!
so how does one contact rod- and see his class schedule
How many left, Britt?
homebru
By tomorrow should be 3 spots open.
Thanks Britt. Feb. 7th and 8th in Greeley.
James, if you recommend Arne Moe, I know he is among the best! I think my build is coming up soon!
Homebru, last I knew there were three spots left for the Greeley clinic.
Moots

Another vote for Rod.
Rick welch... The proof is in the puddin'.... Check out Ricks wall and his you tube student videos... Hands down he is the real deal. Let us hear back from you after Rods class, a God bless
Arne Moe - moebow helped me out a ton and Northern Minnesota is just that much closer to God in my opinion - OK, yeah, I am from Michigan so us northerners need to stick tight.
Arne - if you ever do a seminar let me know.
I would youtube all Arne's videos...they are very helpful.
Rick Welch is a top notch guy in my book too. I really enjoyed meeting him. He is a phenomenal one on one coach. He may not seem it in some of his videos but he is.
This is something i have been considering as well. I need to find someone close to Ohio or I'll just drive to the best school close to me.
I went to Rick Welch also, my shooting since then has been great
I also went to Rick Welch shooting school and it was the best thing I ever did. I took his class in may of 2012 and I won the Traditional World Championships in July. it was defently the best money I have ever spent on archery
Rick Welch is money well spent.
He gives you way more than you expect plus his instruction is one on one.
He's the real deal,a nice guy and willing to answer any and all questions.
I've never heard one student say anything bad about Rick.
This was my experience at Rick Welch's shooting school.
