Adaptive archery gear and club sessions in Ontario
Eliminating barriers,leveling the field.
Sport has physical and social barriers. We work to remove them so anyone can compete on their own terms. We started with archery. We design light bows and adaptive rigs. Partner clubs run sessions with their coaches.

LevelBow P1 is made from PVC pipe.
We heat ½ in Schedule 40 PVC pipe, bend the tips into a recurve and string it with nylon. It draws 6 to 7 lb, depending on the archer’s draw length. It costs under $50 to build, and our build guide is free.
We built it for archers with a physical or cognitive disability, or limited strength. It’s fun to use, and it’s good practice.

We bring the equipment. The club brings the coaches.
Partner with a club
We work with an established club. It has the range and coaches. We bring the adaptive equipment and help set it up.
Adapt the equipment
We fit light bows and adaptive rigs to each archer. We write the setup down so it can be repeated.
Run the session
The club’s coaches lead the sessions. They’re trained through Canada’s National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP). We help with the equipment setup, so the archer only has to think about the coaching.
Help it last
We help train coaches and volunteers and share open guides, so the club can keep the sessions running on its own.
We fit the gear to each archer.
Light bows and adaptive rigs, set up for each person and logged, so they can focus on the coaching.
