Hi, I'm Paul Shashaty.

I'm Paul, and I've spent more than a decade helping first-timers and seasoned shooters find their form, their focus, and that addictive thunk of an arrow hitting gold. Whether you're a nervous beginner or chasing tighter groups, my lessons are calm, encouraging, and built around you.

Every session starts with safety and the fundamentals — stance, grip, anchor, release — then we make it fun. All bows, arrows, and safety equipment are provided for lessons, so you can just show up and shoot.
