Mounted Archery Lessons

Looking to try something new and different? Come experience horseback mounted archery! Whether you are a horseman that has never shot a bow and arrow before or are an experienced archer who has never been on a horse, Caroline will give you a safe introduction to this super fun sport. For folks who want a personalized mounted archery weekend, she can recommend some AirBnBs and work with you to link multiple lessons together in a weekend for a super fun vacation!

These 90 minute lessons will be split into a ground session learning instinctual shooting with a horse bow off the hand. Equipment is provided. The second part of the lesson riding a horse already acclimated to archery and learning how to balance while shooting on a moving horse. These lessons are best private or semi-private.
