Adaptive Archery · The Archers of Caledon
Archery, set up so anyone can take part.
Adaptive archery changes the equipment and the setup, not the archer. At The Archers of Caledon, a coach fits a light bow and, if you need one, an adaptive rig, so you can draw, aim, and take part at your own pace.
What it is
Adapt the setup, not the archer
Adaptive archery makes accommodations to the equipment and the environment so that everyone can take part. Light bows, adaptive rigs, foot locators, and spotters do the adapting, so the archer does not have to.
At The Archers of Caledon, a coach works one-on-one with you. You set the pace, and the setup is built around how you take part.
