Archery gives you and your child a community, friends to last a life-time and opportunities to travel and compete. Watch your child grow as an individual in a community that supports your child and also fosters team building. Archery is a sport that is has something to offer for everyone – join other passionate athletes and start aiming for your dreams!

Archery is where your child participates in a sport, develops strong problem solving skills, increases their focus and determination, learns goal setting, builds confidence and creates friendships that will last a lifetime.

Whether your child's interest is purely recreational or an Olympic, Paralympic or World Championship dream, USA Archery's Youth programs are tailored to help the young archer achieve their goals.

SWBH is proud to sponsor a JOAD chapter. Young JOAD archers meet at our range on Saturdays from 8:00 - 9:00 a.m. For more information, contact us at southwestbowhunters@gmail.com

We also now have a dedicated SWBH JOAD page on our website! Go to: https://southwestbowhunters.net/joad

Explore Archery is fun and a perfect fit for archers  of ANY AGE or ABILITY wanting to get involved in the sport of target archery.  

If you are new to the sport of archery or a beginner archer looking for an introductory program to sign up for, Explore Archery has what you need to get started! You'll learn important skills like range safety and proper shooting form, play exciting games and earn achievement awards. The USAA has chartered and registered program as Southwest Bowhunters Youth.

Cost for a single class is $10/week or $90 for the entire ten-week Explore Archery Class series. We will be meeting once a week from 8:00 - 9:00 a.m. on Saturday mornings starting January 8th, 2022, at the Adair Park Archery Range, on Adair Park Road, just off of So. US Highway 95, Yuma, Arizona.
