Aim High Archery

Aim High Archery partners with Worthington Schools to bring structured archery instruction directly to students in grades 4-6. Run by instructor Ben, the program operates at Bluffsview Elementary (7111 Linworth Rd, Columbus, OH 43235) and accepts students from any school district, homeschool, or private programs.

• •Beginner Archery targets students with little or no experience—whether they've shot at camps, with 4H, or in scouts. The course covers range safety, scoring, etiquette, shooting technique, and basic equipment maintenance. Students shoot both International and 3D archery while playing skill-building games in a controlled environment. Most graduates move on to the Games or League level.

• •Archery Games (Level 2/Experienced) is for archers with formal instruction and range experience. Most shooting happens at 10M distance, mixing International 3D archery with competitive games like Tic-Tac-Toe, Climb-The-Mountain, Blackjack, King/Queen of the Hill, and Shrinking Target Sabotage. This is NOT for beginners despite the game format.

• •Archery League (Level 2/Experienced) features weekly competitive shoots in two divisions: Gold (Level 3, 10M-15M) for advanced archers and Silver (Level 2, 7.5M-12M) for newer shooters. Uses Genesis bows and handicapped scoring to keep competition tight. Awards go to top 5 finishers in each division for 6th grade and below.

Archery requires independent, self-controlled participants who can follow multi-step instructions and monitor their own behavior. Aim High enforces strict rules in a controlled environment.

Programs meet safety standards set by NAA, NASP, and USA Archery. Students needing extra attention can register with a parent/aide or arrange additional instructor support (fee applies). The program reserves the right to remove participants who create unsafe physical or emotional conditions.

Classes build discipline, focus, and problem-solving skills alongside archery fundamentals. Use the back entrance at Bluffsview Elementary for parking.
