Technique Breakdowns
Do you understand archery technique?
Learn what to do, what not to do, why we do it and most importantly... HOW to do it.
Analyse the pro's
Have you ever wondered why the professional archers do certain things the way they do?
We examine the fundamental elements that apply to all archery technique systems, then break down the nuance of varying styles and figure out which one is best for you.
Guided Bow Fitness Drills
Boxers use a speed bag, pianists learn scales, gymnasts train balance, but archers just... shoot?
There are a myriad of training drills, circuits and conditioning exercises that archers need to develop holistically and to improve their scores. In this course, we go through them together.
Exercise Demonstrations
Archers require high levels of mobility, motor control and strength in order to perform at an elite level.
Learn the stretches, drills and screening exercises necessary to build yourself into the archery machine that you are!
Detailed Explanations
Each module is designed to be interactive. Visual aids and demonstrations are constantly used to improve your comprehension of the skill for translation into your shooting technique.
Coaching Interventions
There's no substitute for a good coach...
We show you coaching tools & techniques used to correct common technique errors, so that you can reinforce them with the assistance of a coach, training partner, parent, friend or trained monkey.
Physiology
Don't have a degree in exercise physiology or biomechanics? That's ok. This course is designed for practitioners, not academics.
Learn the basics of anatomy, physiology and biomechanics principles pertaining to archery technique.
Coaching Scenarios
Stuck on something? Not sure what's holding you back?
There are dozens of little 'technique traps' to fall into. We examine the most common technical errors and bad habits so that you can avoid the common pitfalls that hold most archers back!
Technique Demonstrations
Theory is great... but the biggest challenge is not 'what to do', or 'what not to do'. It's HOW to do it!
We demonstrate each skill in it's constituent parts and walk you through correct implementation, just as we would in a 1 on 1 coaching session.

More of what members are saying...
I was introduced to Jarryd Greitschus through my good friend Justin Huish, and after watching several of Jarryd’s free content, I decided to join his Rogue Archery Masterclass. With over 30 years in archery, including 17 years as Hoyt’s Recurve Brand Manager and Engineer, I’ve been fortunate enough to work with some of the best archers and coaches in the world. That said, Jarryd's Masterclass is truly exceptional.
His coaching style is clear, precise, and engaging, making each step easy to understand and apply, regardless of your skill level. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned archer, this Masterclass will elevate your game. If you're serious about improving as an archer, this is an absolute must.
Happy shooting!
- Douglas Denton, Hoyt Recurve Engineer & Brand Manager, USA
"I started shooting archery in 2018 and took a basic course at the local club. Then the pandemic struck and I lost access to the range and needed to rely on online resources for guidance in archery. I watched videos on YouTube and read books but didn't make much progress.
Then I came across the Recurve Archery Technique Fundamentals from the Rogue Archery Masterclass, and decided to enrol in the hope of finding something new. What I found instead was treasure!
It's like a completely different world for me. Aside from the flexible 'Training Program Design' approach, which you can take and design to suit your lifestyle, the technique fundamentals Jarryd teaches in the course are well structured, elaborated and explained.
My questions that arose from watching professional archers, such as why do archers need to raise the bow up to eye level, or why do they move the elbow down and up, etc, were all answered in the videos.
All in all, if you feel like your efforts to improve your archery skill is like finding your way in the dark, the Technique Fundamentals is like giving you a lantern so you know which way to walk, and the 'Training Program Design' book is like having someone lead your way and encouraging you to actually walk the path!
If you want to be better at archery, you need to give this course a try."

My name is Riley Silos, I shoot for Team Philippines!
I've always struggled with archery form. After only one week of watching the Rogue Archery Masterclass, I've already improved all of the basic fundamentals.
The best part about this course with Rogue Archery is that it is not black or white when it comes to different archery forms. The program breaks down the basic mechanics of archery... regardless of the style.
Thanks, Rogue Archery!
- Riley Silos, athlete representing team Philippines, and host of BowWhisperers
"This course is an absolute game changer!
Unfortunately not every aspiring archer has a coach available in their club or area but with this course you have access to quality coaching regardless of where you are in the world.
The course has helped me to identify and tackle issues in my technique that I would have never noticed without it. In every module Jarryd explains in detail not only what to do but also why and especially how you should do it, which makes it simple to understand and easy to repeat.
The best thing is: With the Rogue Archery Masterclass you don't just purchase a course - you become a member of a supporting community and with Jarryd you have such an approachable as well as knowledgeable coach who just loves to teach and is always happy to help.
In my opinion, this course is a must have."
- Steffi, Germany
"I absolutely recommend this course to every archer and coach who wants to have a deeper and better understanding of archery technique. It is an in-depth, step-by-step study of the theories, applications and examples of the fundamentals in a very comprehensive manner."
- Niño, former student athlete at Silliman University, Philippines
"Jarryd is a coach who is committed to the archers, who will undoubtedly benefit from his knowledge and fresh approach to coaching. His approach makes sense, and the training progresses in easy to follow modules.
The Rogue Archery Masterclass is truly an inspiration.
The E-Book accompanying the course also has everything you need to plan your archery journey. You also get access to the Rogue Archery Masterclass community group.
The course will undoubtedly evolve over time and you will have access to this and more from the course, as well as Jarryd’s coaching expertise."
- Nick Kershaw, Head Coach at Colwyn Bowmen, United Kingdom
"Having started archery about a year ago with an audacious goal of Olympic gold at Paris 2024, I’m sure glad that I’ve gotten to know Jarryd and have subscribed to the amazing content that’s shared within Rogue Archery Masterclass!
The long form videos are cohesively assembled with examples, video analysis & detailed instruction that maintains my focused attention throughout the whole course. It provides me with the tools to put the skills into practice practice until I’m ready for the next sequential step.
As a result, I'm feeling confident in my ability to consistently improve my form and scores to become an internationally competitive Archer within the year.
An added bonus is the lifetime subscription to the masterclass group sessions which I’ve found to be a wonderful place to troubleshoot / share knowledge and be part of a community.
I thoroughly recommend the Rogue Archery Masterclass to anyone with the desire to learn, grow & evolve not only into a better archer, but into a more balanced human as well!
Love & blessings"
