Do you want to
learn archery?
What Can i expect?
During the course we will teach you the basics of target archery - how to stand, load your arrow and successfully shoot your bow. We will also provide all the rules around safety and being able to shoot with others, score and look after your equipment.
You do not need to own equipment to take part in the course, but if you like the sport, then we will provide some guidance in purchasing you own equipment.
Day one will be mostly about learning about the rules, conduct and safety around archery.
You'll also get to shoot a bow on day one and you will find out some weird stuff about you, like eye dominance!
At the end of the course, we will invite you to join Erina Archery Club and Coast Archers (if you wish to participate in competitions).
