RE: Hey there
Warning: "Sticker Shock"

Just out of curiosity, I checked the cost of a Level 1 Instructor (to teach kids at camps) course through that link - $175, which is REALLY high (my Level 1 course a year ago was $80). Usually a Level 1 course is 1 day, min age 16. For some reason, this course is 2 days, min age 18, and oh, don't be late - "you may be denied access..." - give me a break. I sense an "attitude." If group classes are this expensive, private or semi-private lessons will be, well, you'd just better be sitting down when they tell you the price...

Another source I found was at Lancaster (PA) Archery Supply, but their lessons are around $100-$200. Basically anyone who has lots of experience or has a high-level certification or is well-known is going to charge a premium....
