About the club
Desert Sky Archers is a private, competitive and recreational target archery club at the Ben Avery Shooting Facility in Phoenix — a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit run by its members and coaches.
What we do
Coaching, practice and a full season of shoots
We run a JOAD youth program alongside adult recreational and competitive archery. Members shoot open practice twice a week and coached practice weekly, learn on club equipment to start, and compete through a season of club tournaments and the DSA Buckle Series.
Every archer carries a USA Archery Full Membership, follows USA Archery and World Archery rules, and our coaches and volunteers complete SafeSport training — the sport's athlete-safety program.
