Archery certifications through USA Archery return to the ATA Trade Show for 2023. A certification can add credibility to your operation, increase your marketing value, and teach you to become a better archer and archery teacher.

The ATA is offering Level 1, 2 and 3 certification courses in Indianapolis, Jan. 11-13. Certification courses are easy to attend and cheaper than courses offered outside the Show thanks to a partnership with USA Archery. Additionally, each course will have a hybrid format with an online component that must be completed before the Show and an in-person portion completed at the Show.

Only ATA members can register for an instructor certification course at #ATA2023. Level 2 and Level 3 participants must pass a background check to become certified. A Level 2 certification is a prerequisite for Level 3 certification.

Lance Postma, owner of Top of Utah Archery in Logan, Utah, took a Level 3 certification course at the 2022 Show and encourages others to do the same.

“The best way for a pro-shop to be a legitimate pro-shop, is to strive to be the most knowledgeable and professional resource to their customers,” he said. “Archery certifications provide a national foundation for shops to reference, differentiating them from the box and chain stores.”

Another Level 3 participant at last year’s Show was Edward Shaw with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources marketing and outreach division. Shaw is an outdoor educator and teaches archery skills through an Outdoor Skills Academy at a state park. He took the certification to meet a continuing education requirement and said the knowledge helped him improve his confidence and confirmed he is teaching proper information to students and hunters.

“The best part of the class is learning from Guy,” Shaw said. “I can follow a curriculum and learn online but having the opportunity to learn from Guy is a great experience. He has a way of pushing you while making it fun. I would absolutely recommend to any one if they ever have the opportunity to learn from Guy to do so. Guy really makes the difference teaching the class.”

Fortunately for those taking the course this year, Guy Krueger, USA Archery’s education and training manager and USA Archery Level 5 NTS coach, will be back in the front of the classroom. Other #ATA2023 archery certification instructors include John Corriveau, USA Archery Level 3 NTS coach, and Bryan Farmer, USA Archery Level 2 instructor trainer.

Level 1: The Level 1 course is typically $115 but will cost $50 for the 2023 Show. There are two options.
