·As a competitive archer, I was unable to find a facility south of Nashville that provides access for practice and training outside of specific business hours. Since most adult competitive archers have full-time jobs, this limited availability directly impacts their ability to reach their goals. Having been a member of an archery club in Illinois, I was accustomed to being able to practice around my work schedule and missed the club atmosphere as opposed to the commercial shop atmosphere. My goal in launching Star Archery is to provide a place where both competitive and recreational archers can have access to facilities that allow them to improve their archery skills and have a sense of community.  I have been a member of several competitive archery teams. Each had a different focus and environment. My goal is to combine the best of each environment and build a team that enjoys each other’s company and learns together without the constraints imposed by commercial archery shops.
