I think I want to look for a coach to help me grow as an archer. I live in south western PA. Can anyone recommend someone in the area? I consider myself an intermediate archer. ~Wojo

Go to USA Archery. I think you have to click on something like "Getting Started". Then coaches in your area. In PA you'll find hundreds, maybe not hundreds in SW PA, but a lot. If you have a level 4 in your area go that way. Level 3 is also good. Ask questions and end with the question, "what kind of archery do you shoot?" YOu may or may not find a Trad guy, but BB is good and so is Olympic.

I'd rather have a level 3 that shoots Trad or Oly than a compound level 4.

PM me if you have trouble.

Cool. Thanks. I am just looking to fine tune my form. I never had a coach or mentor when I started. I could use some one on one with an experianced shooter. ~Wojo

Here you go. Just look for L3 through 5 NTS coaches in your state/area and then contact them to see if they are what you want.

Wojo, you're smarter than most or maybe you dislike loooooong learning curves. Smarter than me anyway, took me 30 years to get a coach (and I was a great shot). It worked so good I became one.

Wojo,

Just be careful which coach you select. If they insist on teaching you NTS, walk away. NTS should be an option, but if it's all they know and teach, that is a good sign they are what I call a "paper" coach and you can do better.
