New Archer Lessons: 11 AM, June 10th, 2023

You must be on time (10:50AM) or you may not be allowed to take the class.

Minimum age is 8 years old! No exceptions.

All first time archers require a lesson which includes a safety orientation. This is a two hour archery class from 11am-1pm that costs $30. We provide expert instruction and all the equipment you need.  You'll have training in archery safety and get close to 1.5 hours of shooting in.

Refund policy: No refunds will be given if you arrive after 11am for the class. Additionally, if you have booked a lesson and cancel less than 48 hours before the lesson (Thursday at 11am) we will not issue any refunds.

In the event of inclement weather, we may have to cancel this event. In the event that this lesson is cancelled, we will notify you on the morning of the lesson at the contact phone number that you provide. In the event of a cancellation, your lesson will be fully refunded.

Covid Protocols, for the safety of our coaches as well as participants. ALL first time lesson participants MUST show proof of full vaccination (acceptable forms are electronically issued QR code, physical vaccine card, physical photo, or digital photo on phone. No photocopies) There are NO religious exemptions. Medical exemptions will be on a case by case basis with other additional mitigation requirements if accepted (will require negative covid test within 48 hrs of event). Space is limited to 12 students (based on available instructors), and social distancing/masking will be enforced when in close proximity to others.

This lesson is not transferable.  The name on your ID must match the name on the registration for the event.  If you show up and your name on your ID does not match the name on your registration, you will not be allowed to take the class.

Every participant must sign a code of conduct AND a liability waiver.  You can bring them with you, or you can sign one on the spot.  Note that a minor requires a parent's or guardian's signature on their waiver.

Where does my money go?  The Golden Gate JOAD is an all volunteer organization.  The funds from your lessons go to pay to replace the bales at the range (the city of SF does not replace them) and to purchase new equipment for club students.  This is equipment you will be using when you take a lesson!
