Instinctive Archery in Stockholm, Sweden
In Åkersberga, between forest and water
Mellansken Archery School

The bow doesn’t teach you to aim – it teaches you to trust.

In Stockholm, something different begins.
No screens. No noise –
only forest, silence, and your hands on the bow.

Your body still knows
what your mind has forgotten.

The moment

You’re looking for the moment
when you stop thinking.

And when you release, you know:
It wasn’t luck.
It was trust.

What happens here

You don’t learn to aim.
You learn to trust.

Just you.
A bow.
A target.

And hitting.

About me

My name is Uwe P. Tesch.

For over 20 years, I’ve been guiding people
in instinctive archery –
in Germany, worldwide,
and now in Stockholm..

Mellansken

In 2026, the Mellansken Archery School is founded.

A place where people learn
not only to hit –
but to arrive:

in themselves
in nature
in trust

What you’ll find

Why Mellansken

The name Mellansken grew out of my connection to Stockholm and the Stockholm Archipelago.
It is derived from the Swedish words mellan skären — “between the islands,” or more precisely, “between the skerries.”
The Swedish word skär refers to the small rocky islets that characterize the archipelago surrounding Stockholm.
Over time, it became more than just a place to me.

Mellansken represents the space between the islands, between departure and arrival, between the past and the future.
