Much like going to the gym with a friend, practicing with some buddies helps you keep up the commitment of regular practice.  And of course, archery practice improves your skills.  There’s a friendly group of archers starting up a weekly practice at Pacifica Archery, the only local indoor archery range.  Practice will be Thursday nights starting in April and will focus on shooting a scored session and then discussing archery form afterwards.  This group will be heavily populated with compound archers.
However I have shot with this group before, and an extremely accomplished recurve archer was there and we talked at length throughout the practices.  I took several of his suggestions for tuning my equipment to heart and it has improved my scores significantly.
If you are free Thursday nights and can get to Pacifica Archery in Daly City by 6:30pm, I heartily recommend the friendly folks in this league.
To register go to the Eventbrite page.
