The certified instructors at Fat Shafts Archery educate burgeoning bow-flexers in proper skills and techniques inside a facility equipped with 15 archery lanes, block targets, and recurve bows for righties and lefties alike. After demonstrating how to string and let loose an arrow, mentors unleash pupils upon the open range to poke holes in the wind, punishing it for ruining past picnics. While all participants must redeem their Groupons together, lessons and open-range time may be redeemed separately. Adult target-puncturing classes are held every Monday at 7 p.m. or Wednesday evenings by appointment, and young adults fling arrows on Saturday at 9 a.m., 10 a.m., and 11 a.m.
