Archery for beginners
I know there are a few air gunners on here, just wondering if there are any archers? I'm looking to get involved just wondering if anyone can
tell me what to expect first hand

If you go to a decent club they'll sort you out without problems - most have a few fibreglass bows for beginners, and they'll pick a bow
to suit your stature and strength, with arrows of the correct length to match the bow.
I used to do archery many years ago - it's an enjoyable sport and in most places the people are friendly. It can get expensive if your skills
improve to the point where you want to do serious competition, but there's plenty of scope to have fun without spending a heap of money.

Hi Carl
My brother in law and niece do it and are heaviy involved in a club where he is a coach and that is definitely the way to go, as pointed out above,
only problem might be finding somewhere that hasn't got a waiting list as it appears to be enjoying a lot of interest and growth in post Olympic
Britain, atb

Best advice I can give is to do a beginners course as its all to easy to get into very bad habits (guess how I know!). Have a look at archeryGB
website there's a list of clubs on there.
