Joining an archery club

Look for an archery club in your area.

We would recommend visiting the club and meeting the members before you join. Each club has a different way of working and a different “personality”. So see which one you feel most comfortable with. If you are thinking of enrolling any junior members - check out the club’s policy and support mechanisms for youngsters.

Once you have completed your beginners course, it is a good idea to join an archery club.

This gives you some structure for your shooting and also allows you to mix with other archers who can teach you a lot about the sport and introduce you to competitions, etc.
