Located in Brooklyn's Crown Heights neighborhood, Center Shot Archers has been a fixture in the community since 2008, founded by pioneering coach Larry Brown to introduce archery to inner-city youth who historically lacked access to the sport and quality instruction. The facility serves both recreational archers and those pursuing competitive goals, welcoming participants of all skill levels regardless of background.
The range operates under the philosophy that archery is for everyone, offering instruction and practice opportunities in a supportive environment. Visitors consistently praise the patient and knowledgeable coaching staff, which includes Coach Brown, Coach William, Coach Karyn, Coach Philip, and Coach Roberta. Those who've been there note that instructors take time to educate students on proper technique rather than simply handing them equipment, and that the welcoming atmosphere makes the experience enjoyable for first-time archers and experienced shooters alike.
Center Shot Archers has built a reputation for developing competitive talent, with many students achieving success at state, regional, and national tournaments. The facility has hosted various events including tournaments, birthday celebrations, summer camps, and programs for adaptive athletes. The range is known for its accessibility and community focus, making it an ideal destination for anyone looking to learn archery in a friendly, professional setting.
