Facility - Pineapple Archery

Mel Nichols coaches archery the way it should be coached—form, equipment, mental strength, and love for the sport all wrapped together. He's been a USA Archery Level 5 coach for 13 years, served as a 2012 Olympic coach, and trained archers competing at World Championships and Pan Am Games.

Before coaching, Mel shot professionally on the ASA Pro tour until a back injury sidelined him. A year of recovery gave him time to think about what mattered. He came back to the sport he loved, but not as a competitor—as a coach who genuinely enjoys helping archers improve.
