The sport at PWS
Draw, anchor, release
Archery asks for a steady body and a still mind. At the PWS archery academy students learn the sport step by step – posture, drawing the bow, anchoring and a clean release – with safety rules on the range at every session.
As their technique grows, archers train for accuracy at longer distances and prepare for competitions.
