Archery Lessons Online – Check Them Out!
Some of you may recall reading some guest blogs by Adam Guggisberg. Adam was the final piece of the puzzle in my bow project, putting everything together and tuning up my new bow. Adam knows his stuff, and I highly recommend his services. if you ever need some bow tuning done, he has a variety of packages available.
Anyway, Adam and his crew have another very cool project that has been in the works for awhile, but is starting to gain some momentum. Adam’s group offers archery lessons online. Now if you are a skeptic, you can get a 24-hr Free Trial. If you like what you see, it’s $13.95/month, and there are a lot of goodies included in that fee. There’s also a quarterly rate which offers an even better value, and group rates available as well. I was having some issues in regards to anchoring and Adam invited me into his “school”. The information was clear, very well presented, and easy to use. His site navigates well, and the lessons are extremely detailed. Seriously, try the 24-hr pass – if it’s not your deal, so be it.
I’m also working on having Adam back as a guest, for some future projects!
