About Eternal Flame Mounted Archery
Dedication, Trust, Precision
Mounted horseback archery takes dedication, trust in your horse and precision. Since 2018, Eternal Flame Mounted Archery has been a club practicing this ancient martial art in the Western NY region.
-
This sport is unique in that is encourages camaraderie and group effort, from setting up the track and equipment to cheering everyone else on, we all help one another!
-
We typically meet at least once a month from April to November to practice, currently at 2 different WNY locations: Collins, NY and Allegany, NY.
-
We also host a Level 1 star Jackpot Competition series through the summer to provide grading opportunities and fun competition with each other and ourselves!

It's OK if you have never shot a bow before, or ridden a horse. If you are an experienced rider you can also pick up the sport pretty quickly. You can come to one of our beginner clinics to get started (see Events for more info), then join the club to come to subsequent practices, or take a private lesson or two at your convenience to learn at Laurelin Farm (www.laurelinfarm.com/instruction).
-
It's OK if you have never ridden a horse before or can't bring your horse to a practice. We have lesson horses that you can rent and practice on. We also provide instruction on how to get your horse started in the sport. Renting horses to ride is a very common aspect of this sport all over the world!
