Bardzell Consulting LLC is a program design practice working from the Willow Brook Way studio at 2271 E Willow Brook Way, Sandy - 84092-5535, United States (US), where range drawings, coaching plans and equipment ledgers are laid out side by side before any arrow flies. We work with schools, municipal parks departments, private clubs and independent coaches who need a range that is safe, a curriculum that is teachable and an equipment fleet that survives a full season of use. Every engagement begins with a walk of the shooting line and ends with a written program the staff can actually run.
The practice is built around six services that cross the same floor. Range and equipment work runs down the warp, while coaching and competition work runs across the weft. Each row below is a full engagement, priced and scheduled on its own, and each is written to stand alone so a club can start with one and add the next season without rebuilding anything.
A full reading of the shooting line, backstop, walkways and spectator edges, measured against current safety practice and the way your club actually uses the ground. The review ends with a drawn site plan, a written risk list and a clear sequence of fixes ordered by urgency rather than by cost.
A season-long teaching plan for beginner, intermediate and competitive groups, written for the coaches who will deliver it rather than for an accreditor. Every session carries a warm-up, one technical focus, a drill set and a measurable exit check so progress is visible week to week.
A scheduled week on site to inventory bows, limbs, strings, rests, sights and arrows at the club store, then tag and retire anything that has passed its safe working life. Clubs leave with a working asset register, a replacement forecast and a restringing calendar that fits the competition season.
➤Age-banded programming for schools, scout groups and summer camps, built around short shooting blocks, simple scoring games and clear adult-to-youth ratios. The design covers first-session scripts, parent communication templates and an eight-week arc that keeps beginners coming back.
Round structures, handicap bands, score sheets and tie-break rules for club leagues that want fair competition across mixed skill levels. We build the spreadsheet or web sheet, test it against last season results and train the scorekeeper so the standings stay clean all year.
Structured preparation for instructor and coach certification assessments, including practical range management, safety scenarios and the paperwork assessors expect to see. Candidates rehearse on our own course layout, so the assessment day feels like a familiar session rather than a surprise.
➤Spring league scoring workshop: an open bench day at the Willow Brook Way studio where club scorekeepers bring last season sheets, test our handicap bands live and leave with a working round structure before the first match.
Every engagement follows the same rhythm that shapes a wooden bow. We begin with the split, reading the site, the people and the budget without assuming any of them are what the paperwork says. Then comes the rule, where the shooting line, target distances, walkways and storage are marked and checked against both safety practice and the daily habits of the staff who run the ground.
Only after the split and the rule do we fletch, which for Bardzell Consulting LLC means writing the curriculum, the score sheets and the maintenance calendar in plain language the club can own. The final step is the trueing, a return visit after the first month of use to watch the program in motion, correct what drifted and hand over the finished file set. Clients keep every drawing, every sheet and every note.
Because the practice is small, the person who walks your range is the person who writes the plan. That single thread from first site visit to final handover is the reason clubs come back for a second season, and it is the reason we limit the number of engagements we take in any given month.
Most clubs arrive with a list of symptoms rather than a plan. These three notes cover the patterns we see most often, and each one maps back to a working service rather than a sales promise.
Lanes were added over several seasons until the walkway, the spectator edge and the storage shed no longer agree with the original plan. A range layout review redraws the ground around how people actually move, then orders the fixes so the most dangerous gap closes first.
When a club grows past one instructor, teaching quality drifts because each coach rebuilds each session from scratch. A coaching curriculum build gives the whole staff a shared session shape, a shared drill set and a shared way of checking that a beginner actually learned the grip.
Bows are borrowed, strings are swapped and broken arrows quietly return to the rack. An equipment audit week counts everything once, tags every asset, retires the unsafe gear and leaves a restringing calendar so the fleet is ready before the first league night instead of after.
Bardzell Consulting LLC is not a shop and not a hunting outfitter. We do not sell bows, arrows or targets, and we take no commission from any supplier, which means the equipment advice you receive is written for the club budget rather than for a reseller margin. The clients who fit the practice best are the ones who intend to run a program for years.
Physical education departments and after-school providers who need a curriculum that fits a gym period, a clear adult supervision model and documentation that satisfies district risk officers. We work inside the school calendar and keep every session short enough for a class change.
City and county recreation teams opening or renovating a public range, where the design has to survive unsupervised use, seasonal staffing changes and a public comment process. Our site plans are drawn to be read by council members as well as by range staff.
Member clubs that need fair league structures, a certification path for volunteer coaches and a maintenance rhythm that matches their competition season. We sit with the scorekeeper and the range captain together so the plan is agreed by the people who will run it.
➤Summer camps, scout groups and community centers running short archery blocks where every session has to work for a new group of absolute beginners. A youth program design gives counselors a script, a safety routine and a first-day checklist that survives staff turnover.
A first conversation is free and takes about half an hour. Most callers want to know how long a review takes, what it costs to prepare a coaching curriculum and whether the equipment audit can be scheduled around a competition season. The honest answers depend on the size of the ground and the number of staff, so we ask a short set of questions before quoting anything.
If you are unsure which service fits, start with a range layout review, because almost every other decision about coaching, leagues and equipment rests on how the ground is laid out. A club with a clean site plan finds that curriculum and scoring work move much faster, and a club without one tends to revisit the same safety argument every season.
