Instructors with a passion

Esteban Pereira, President
When I was a boy I was captivated by mythological heroes like Hercules, and the Babylonians, as well as Robin Hood and William Tell. I started with the classic longbow in high school and became a proficient competitor. Soon after, I bought my first take-down bow and competed in state and local tournaments. Later, I purchased a compound bow and started hunting throughout our great country. Even after all the chapters of my life, I continue my passion for archery. I am committed to inspiring others in the sport.
