What types of bows are covered in Level 2 Instructor training?

In Level 2 Instructor training, the focus is on recurve and compound bows. Recurve bows are often used in a variety of archery contexts, including Olympic-style competitions, and they are the primary type taught at beginner levels due to their simplicity and effectiveness for training new archers. Compound bows, on the other hand, are designed with a system of pulleys and cams that allow for greater power and accuracy, making them popular among more experienced archers and in target archery settings.

The inclusion of both recurve and compound bows in the training curriculum reflects the need for instructors to be well-versed in these widely used bow types, as they cater to different archery styles and preferences. Understanding the mechanics and techniques associated with both recurve and compound bows equips instructors to effectively teach a diverse range of students.

Recurve bows are often emphasized for beginners to develop fundamental skills, while compound bows represent a significant step up in technology and technique. Thus, the training covers the essential aspects of both types, ensuring that instructors can guide archers of various skill levels and interests confidently.
