Jon,

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the superb job you did with our group at our recent teambuilding activities. After deciding on archery as a "cool" activity to try, we found working with you very easy. My entire group left with a good base knowledge of archery. We found your class to be both informative and interesting. Your discussion around focus, and the "process" versus "goals" methods lent to our overall teambuilding spirit. It was also great that you gave everyone a lot of practice time. The fact that we had a five month pregnant woman participate (and enjoy!) speaks volumes about the sport of archery and how it was a great choice for us. Thanks for a most enjoyable afternoon.

I love archery at X-Ring! Jon is a great instructor and has taught me so much in the short time I have been attending his classes. Jon also has us focus immensely on each shot and since I have started, my focus has improved greatly. I have also learned to slow down and do things the right way the first time because I know that any arrow that I shoot without thinking of my form, is a shot wasted. I have even met many friends because everybody here is so kind and helpful! Archery has very quickly became my favorite sport and hobby!

Jon,

Prior to November I had never picked up a bow in my life, but had always been curious about the sport. I’m so glad I found you and your school. You’ve turned my curiosity into a hobby with strong fundamentals. I’m glad I did not just buy a bow and start to learn bad habits on my own. I may never win a tournament but I’m having measurable success and having the time of my life.
Thanks.

Jon,

I just wanted to let everyone know what a great experience I had at X-Ring Archers. I've been a bow hunter for about 14 or 15 years and I often shoot 3-D targets with a group of my friends as a means of friendly competition and as a way to hone in on my archery skills. I am [was] a self taught archer and I’m a rare breed who shoot a compound bow without a release; i.e., finger shooter. Most of my friends shoot with a release and during our 3-D competitions I routinely ended up at the bottom on the score sheet. No matter how much I practiced I just couldn't’t improve my score. I came to X-Ring Archers to see if Jon could figure out what I was doing wrong. I didn't’t care if I had to go back to square one if it would improve my shooting. Well, it was easier for Jon to explain to me what I was doing right rather for him to explain what was wrong. Basically, I was doing nothing right, so I had to go back to the beginning. In other words start with the beginner class. My biggest problems were stance, grip and aiming. Within a couple of months my shooting took on a new life and I was shooting much better than I ever had shot on my best days. I went from the bottom of the score card to the top. My confidence in hunting situations was also greatly improved due to my lessons at X-Ring Archers. Thanks Jon for a job very well done and for being such a great instructor!!!!

Best Wishes,

Jon,

Thank you for using positive reinforcement when teaching my 7 year old, Megan. Helping her to see what she is doing well will allow her to continue to improve as an archer. Thank you also for encouraging me to join her on the path to archery. Sharing archery strengthens us physically and as a family.

In November 2006 I started taking your beginner archery classes. In January I bought my own bow. And in March I won a state championship. Its so important to learn the correct form the first time & I'm still learning so much more from bow tuning & arrow building to string making. When I decide to switch to a compound bow you'll be the one I turn to.

Three and a half years ago I decided to try archery at X-Ring Archers. I've been shooting 2-3 times a week ever since. I like the concentration and determination involved. Mr Bach is understanding of all people's needs in learning to shoot. He has helped me always try for my personal best.

I started out as a parent of a student and then decided to give archery a try. I opted to start with private instruction from Jon Bach. Soon I was able to join into intermediate classes and even attend league. To me, perfecting form and aim in archery is similar to enjoying golf yet it has the mind clearing relaxation qualities of Yoga. I like that you can practice the sport indoors and outdoors. Jon is an incredibly patient, consistent and knowledgeable teacher.

Jon,
Just a quick note to let you know how much my son, Zack, and I enjoyed the beginners Archery classes. I had not picked up a bow in over 8 years, and Zack was new to the sport. Each one of us learned exactly the same way, at the same pace. and neither one of us missed anything - a real tribute to the school's teaching style. We've continued to practice at our own home "range". I was able to "un-learn" all of the past bad habits I had, and correctly switched from left handed shooting to right handed shooting while Zack was able to quickly out-shine dad in the proper form department. Keep up the good work and we'll be back for more advanced lessons. -
