Are you ready to build your archery skills from the ground up? Whether you’ve just picked up your first bow, have a “new-to-you” bow and don’t know where to start, or have had a bow for a while but haven’t spent much time with it, this immersive weekend is designed specifically for beginners who want to develop a solid foundation.
 
Through hands-on instruction, you’ll learn how your bow works, break down its components and create your own shooting cycle. We’ll teach you how to sight your bow independently, introduce you to situational shooting techniques, and help you build confidence and consistency as an archer.
Great archers aren’t defined by how long they’ve been shooting—they’re defined by their dedication to developing good habits and proper mechanics. We aim to help you master your bow, own your shot process, and build unwavering confidence.
 
This camp blends foundational archery training with fitness sessions tailored to enhance your strength, stamina, and physical preparedness for archery and bow hunting demands. You’ll gain tools for mental and physical readiness, ensuring you feel strong and prepared for every shot.
The weekend wraps up with an exciting opportunity to put your new skills to the test at the Cascadian Bowmen 3-D Archery Shoot in Noti, Oregon. This fun and supportive event will allow you to showcase everything you’ve learned in a dynamic and safe setting.
 
Whether you’re brand new to archery, eager to connect with other passionate women, or simply looking to take the first step in your bowhunting journey, this camp offers a welcoming, female-led environment to learn, grow, and thrive. 
 
Don’t wait—join us for an empowering experience that will leave you feeling prepared and confident about your archery journey!
