Program Overview & Philosophy
These modules are designed for participants who have completed Tier I and seek specialized exposure to unique North American terrains. Access is granted via manual eligibility review.
“Proficiency is not linear. These tracks are designed to expose the archer to specific environmental stressors unique to the continent: extreme sightlines, erratic wind drift, and vertical terrain complexity”
