Visit the USA Archery instructor locator to search for an instructor or learn how you can get certified as an archery instructor.

2. Register Your Explore Archery Program

There is no fee to register an Explore Archery Program

3. Purchase the Explore Archery Instructor's Guide and Achievement Awards

4. Find a Safe Place to Shoot

Basic archery ranges can be safely set up in a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces. If you do not have access to a permanent range, consider converting an existing recreational space to a temporary archery range. Visit the program resources page for more information on archery range development.
