HOW DOES THIS SERVICE WORK? Through video tape or telephone. Go to the main menu and click on the "EXPLANATION OF SERVICE" for a more detailed explanation.

DO I HAVE TO SIGN UP FOR A PARTICULAR NUMBER OF SESSIONS? No. There are no restrictions on the number of sessions you can have with your coach.

WHAT KIND OF QUESTIONS CAN I ASK? You can ask anything related to your concerns about archery.

HOW WILL I GET MY ANSWERS? If you send a video tape, your coach will put your answer on your tape or answer in writing via U.S. mail.

WHY USE THIS SERVICE INSTEAD OF GETTING QUESTIONS ANSWERED ON THE INTERNET? There are many reasons. Using video tape allows your coach to actually see your movements and see your progress. When he or she answers your questions, you can see your coach's body movements and simulate the correct movements yourself. Internet explanations can be difficult to understand and misunderstood because of the lack of visual contact. One major advantage of ARCHERYCOACHES.COM is that you get to pick your coach; no hoping for the right unknown person to answer your questions.

CAN I TRY DIFFERENT COACHES? Yes. There are no restrictions, but if you find a coach you like, it will probably be best to stick with him or her because your coach will follow your progress and know your problems.

ARE THERE ANY RESTRICTIONS ON THE NUMBER OF QUESTIONS I ASK? Yes, on video tape. After taping yourself, you can ask 2 questions that your coach will answer. By phone, there are no restrictions, as it is a conversation that has a time limit. We suggest that you don't try to ask too many different questions, because you will want to get the most detailed coaching possible.

HOW GOOD MUST I BE TO USE THIS SERVICE? There are no restrictions on your qualifications as an archer. The best thing a beginner can do is to get qualified help with problems as to avoid practicing the wrong movements and developing bad habits.

HOW MUCH OF THE FEE DOES THE COACH GET? Your coach gets 80% of the fee.

WHY WOULD MY COACH WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN THIS SERVICE? For many of the same reasons as you. He can teach many more students than he could going to a range for private lessons. Also, he can reach students from all over the country or the world.

ARE ALL OF THE COACHES AVAILABLE ALL OF THE TIME? No. Their schedules are on their individual pages. Because many of these archers are actively competing, their time will have restrictions.

WHY ARE DIFFERENT COACHES DIFFERENT FEES? This is a decision from the coaches themselves. We don't force any pricing on them. They decide what they want for their time, so you can be comfortable that they are happy with the situation and will be willing to give you the best service possible.

WHAT IF THE COACH I WANT IS NOT AVAILABLE? If for some reason your choice can't view your tape or take your phone call, we will contact you to change your appointment time, pick a different available coach or give you a refund.

HOW DO I DECIDE WHICH COACH I WILL USE? You should use a few considerations for your choice: price, his experience, and your experience. When you are beginning, it isn't necessary to have the best archer in the country as your coach. Any one of these coaches has enough credentials to help almost any archer with a problem.

ARE THERE ANY CONTRACTS? No. There are no contracts to sign or adhere to. Also the coaches are not under any contract and are free to come and go as they please.

WHY DO I HAVE TO GO THROUGH ARCHERYCOACHES.COM? COULDN'T I CONTACT MY COACH DIRECTLY? Yes, you probably could but you would be putting the relationship between archerycoaches.com and your coach at risk, and he would be limiting his possibilities if he responded to you outside this system.

IF I HAVE NEVER HAD A COACH BEFORE, IS THIS A GOOD IDEA? Yes. Many people live in areas where it is almost impossible to get a good coach, yet a great coach.

IS IT WORTH PAYING FOR A COACH ONCE IN A WHILE? Yes. As you practice, you tend to fall back into bad habits or develop new bad habits, and a coach can keep you on the right path.

WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT, NEW EQUIPMENT OR GOOD FORM? Nothing against great equipment, but we all know that a great shooter can use the same equipment you think is holding you back and kick your butt with it. That tells you one thing. Equipment doesn't win, form wins.
