Archery Training Center

Archery Training Center started in 1995 at a bowhunting range in North Austin when there was no consistent, recognized method for teaching Olympic target archery. In 2008, they adopted the National Training System (NTS)—the biomechanically efficient method developed by USA Archery's National Head Coach KiSik Lee—and have been coaching it ever since.

USA Archery Level 4 NTS Coach Racae Meyer directs the operation and has personally coached and trained over 8,500 archers, producing:

• •Texas state and southern region champions
• •Several national champions
• •Jr US Archery Team members
• •One Paralympic bronze medallist

Every instructor and coach on staff holds USA Archery certification (Level 1-4), CPR certification, U.S. Center for Safe Sport certification, federal and state background checks, and has completed ATCI's own instructor training program.
