International Guild of Mounted Archers

Reaching New Heights

Mounted Archery

Our Mounted Archery students follow the Guild of Mounted Archers curriculum which is a structured level-based program that leads from the very basics to Grand Masters level Mounted Archery. Our students pass through the Guild testing levels and many have acheived lifetime merit membership with the guild.

TRAINING LEVEL

At the training levels students work on honing their skills with Mounted Archery Equitation and advanced archery training while beginning to combine the two at a halt, walk and trot on the lunge line. At training levels, you start learning about straight track mounted archery courses!

LEVEL 1 AND 2

When you have passed into level 1 you will have achieved a high level of balance, strength and skill. At this level you can compete in our straight track events at a walk and trot. You will be working on perfecting your canter and passing the final test for this level which graduated you to cantering and shooting on the straight tracks!
