About CATP

A program has been developed at X-RING ARCHERS to foster select students who show the talent and desire to train seriously. The CATP will prepare the students with the technique, discipline, and training needed for the rigors of competition. This program is designed to lead recreational students, who are more serious, in the direction to becoming serious competitive archers.
