OUTSIDE COACHING AND SOLICITATION IS PROHIBITED: Please realize we do not know who you are nor your background in archery.  Prohibiting outside coaching is NOT us indicating that you are "not" a great archer, but rather us reducing business liability. All our staff undergo background checks and mandatory training.  Unauthorized solicitation is also prohibited (and just plain rude... you don't see Walmart walking into Target to sell their goods).
