….
Mounted archery is a historical technique of hunting and warfare. The rider controls the horse with seat, legs, and voice while shooting arrows with a bow. Now it has gained popularity as a sport. The most popular set up involves a 2m wide by 90m long track that the horse follows while the archer shoots at a variety of targets. Instinctual archery is important to achieve the accuracy and speed required to complete the patterns.
We are exctied to bring Kaspian Mounted Archery Clinic here! No archery experience is required and all the necessary equipment is provided. Our workshops are an opportunity for everyone at any level to participate.
Clinic Details:
Sunday, May 25th 2025 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The morning is devoted to developing archery skills to ensure the riders are going to be safe using the bows. After all they are weapons.
