After ATA members praised the Archery Industry Masterclass at the 2021 Show, ATA staff decided to bring it back for the 2022 ATA Trade Show — and this year, presenters and participants will get to interact in person!

ATA invested in the Masterclass to provide members with top-notch education from presenters who are experts in their field and familiar with the archery and bowhunting industry. The Masterclass presents ideas and information in four tracks:
- Business: Learn how to improve profitability, establish your core business culture, and deliver excellent customer service.
- Coaching: Learn how to help archers overcome target panic and control their shot, as well as coaching methodology and best practices.
- Marketing: Discover how to use social media effectively and create a solid marketing strategy.
- Archery tech: Learn foundational concepts and advanced methods used to set up and tune all types of archery equipment.
These categories remain essential knowledge for business owners, and they’re constantly evolving as the world changes. The Masterclass provides detailed and in-depth information that goes beyond the introductory-level curriculum covered in morning seminars and Coffee Talks. The Masterclass also focuses on actionable steps to help businesses succeed. Additionally, the Masterclass speakers carefully craft their presentations, so the information is easy to understand.
This year’s Masterclass will feature 10 in-person sessions and six prerecorded sessions. The prerecorded content will be available online before the Show, and the in-person sessions will take place on Jan. 6. In addition, several in-person sessions will be streamed live in the MyATA Learning Center for those who purchase the course but can’t attend the Show. All prerecorded and in-person session recordings will be available after the Show in the MyATA Learning Center, as well. Online and in-person attendees will be able to question the presenter during the live sessions.
The registration fee is $100 for ATA members and $500 for nonmembers, and it provides access to all course content. Registration for the Masterclass opened Aug. 10, the same day registration for the 2022 ATA Show opened.
