We've lived in the Valley for over 20 years and can't believe we've never been to the Woodley Park Archery Range. Our kid's ages, 9-16, had an amazing private lesson with Wayne of Accurate Archery. He also teaches group lessons at the range throughout the week, but we thought it was important for their first lesson to have hands on attention. Our lesson for the 4 kids was scheduled for 60-90 minutes. Wayne went above and beyond, he answered ALL the kid's questions, reviewed safety rules, commands, and proper technique. He then worked with each child 1-1. After they all had time to practice. While they practiced he observed them and provided additional tips. In all we were at the range for 4 hours and the kids wanted more. Not only was Wayne knowledge, he was patient and passionate about archery. We're hoping to continue lessons at the range. We highly recommend Wayne for archery lessons for all ages, it's fun for families, team building, maybe even a party. read more

I picked Accurate Archery because he was the oldest, most experienced archer with the highest level of accreditation. What I got was a lot more value than I ever expected. Not only is this wonderful man a great coach, but he is passionate about his chosen sport and it shows. An infinite source of information. Took my son and friend and I way overtime and helped me setup my own bow properly. Although we are all new to this sport, he kept it simple without overloading us with information so we could focus on creating great habits from the get-go. I highly recommend this wonderful coach whether you are seriously into this sport or a total newcomer. As a result, my skills , technique, and passion for this sport have all improved immensely. Needless to say, I will be returning soon for more private lessons. read more

Accurate Archery - YouTube University is no match for Coach Wayne when it comes to learning the proper techniques and etiquette. - Archery Near Me - Van Nuys, California

My daughter has been taking lessons from Coach Wayne for a year now. First watching her time with Coach Wayne, to see how much fun she's having, I decided to join her and take lessons from Coach Wayne as well. He is absolutely THE BEST coach you'll ever find!! We live in Pasadena, there's an archery ranch there and we know many archery coaches from there, but no one compares to Coach Wayne. He is very professional and has a deep knowledge and passion about the art of archery. Before we took lessons from him, I thought it's just about shooting arrows and trying to hit the target, but he would put things into perspective and explain how it is actually done. He's very patient, fun and gentle working with both kids and adults. He pays great attention and emphasis on developing the correct forms in archery, in such that a new archer would avoid injury and being able to achieve the best results. We love Coach Wayne. It is very fortunate that we've found him. read more

Coach Wayne is everything wonderful that one could hope for in an instructor. He is knowledgeable, patient, encouraging, and kind. My daughter came to him as a beginner shooter, and it was obvious from our first lesson that Wayne really cares about his students.

We have since moved on to group lessons, and the instruction he provides during those sessions are just as valuable. Coach Wayne has my highest recommendation! read more

Wayne was a great teacher and he spent lots of time with my wife and me who were both learning how to shoot a bow properly.

He let us shoot enough to get some great experience in while having a great experience :) read more

I had tried archery many years ago. Took a class for 8 weeks in college, as a matter of fact. I learned more and enjoyed the experience far more in just 90 minutes with Wayne. Wayne took the time to explain the sport, the mechanics of shooting, and the equipment. The instruction was first rate. As a former teacher, I appreciated the encouragement and the positive feedback. An excellent experience. read more

For the first time taking archery I wanted to make sure it was done right and I am so happy I found Wayne through yelp. I appreciate how Wayne puts his heart and soul into this art. His instructions were far more than just learning to shoot an arrow. Throughout the whole process he was so detailed with the history, philosophy, mind set, and techniques of the art. He is very attentive and answered all questions thoroughly. A lot of the skill of being able to successfully do this sport has a lot to do with being mindful, aware and meditation. We definitely fell in love with this sport and will be back to improve our skills of archery with Wayne's incredible instruction and guidance. read more

I arranged an archery outing for my office and I'm so glad I did. There's a reason Wayne's reviews are unanimously positive - he is a great coach, plain and simple. Equally important, his passion for archery is infectious. My team loved learning not just how to shoot, but also about the history of archery. I can't wait to go back with friends and family. Thank you, Wayne! read more

Wayne is a great guy and has a wealth of information. I would go so far as saying he's a bit of an archery nerd, which is what you want if you plan to perfect your skill. I'm a beginner, as is my friend, and we definitely got a ton of info and he's very generous with his time. For anyone looking to really get into the sport, I think it could be a good idea to inquire about a pack of lessons - maybe 3 or 5 - to space out all the info. He also trains archery at olympic level so no matter your experience level, you can and will get better. read more

It's so great to have Wayne as our coach. He is very knowledgeable and he can answer every question we have about archery. He has excellent teaching skills. We are beginners and know nothing about archery when we started, and English is not our native language. Nevertheless, Wayne can still make sure we fully understand everything we need to know. He is also very patient and really knows how to encourage students. I am not an athletic person at all and I learn things slowly, but he always tries to encourage me and as a result, archery becomes the first sport I enjoy. If you are considering having an archery coach, I highly recommend Wayne read more

Wayne is a great coach. His progression is very natural and he's got a good eye for body mechanics and can clearly walk you through the techniques. Which is everything in my opinion. As for his ability to coach kids, well he got my 7 y/o in only one session to the point that it was easier to count his misses than his hits. He is patient and generous with his knowledge. If you are interested in learning archery start with some lessions and i think you'll be on the right path to being a successful archer. read more

I took my first archery lesson (about 1.5 hrs) this week and had the most enjoyable time learning from the masterful coach, Wayne S. My friend who has been taking lessons with him for a while highly recommended him and brought me to have my first lesson. Wayne is trained in teaching the archery method called National Training System, and his explanations are systematic, clear, concise. His assessment of my attempts was positive, direct, and informative. He supplied the equipment for me in our lesson, and he chose it thoughfully based on my size and fitness. I'm of average strength and fitness for an over-35-year old (yoga 1-2x a week, very reluctant jogger, able to place my own roller bag in the overhead bin, eat all the chocolate available.) He made it easy to concentrate on all the nuanced steps of the process of shooting, and I hit the target (it's not the bullseye you're thinking of), on my first 11 of 12 shots. And I hit it on the next 12 of 12 shots. So satisfying, and I gotta go back! This is a great activity for: 1) those who enjoy high mind-to-body concentration, 2) those who want an activity that engages the whole body without being high-impact cardio, 3) those who are open to adjustments made on form read more

Wayne is an amazing coach with incredible patience. He spends a considerable amount of time with each student in each lesson.
