Why Choose Archery
About archery
Archery is a very social sport but also one that focuses on the individual's performance and their own personal achievements.
Archery is extremely accessible - it is possible to adapt to individual needs. It is also a low cost sport for beginners. There are a wide number of archery clubs within most areas where families can shoot together or you can participate as an individual and meet new people. Most, if not all, physical limitations can be accommodated.
What are the benefits?
As well as being a very social activity archery has significant benefits for the individual:
- Improved concentration and focus
- Increased upper body strength
- Developed hand eye co-ordination
- Relaxing and calming
Archery is one of the few sports where everyone participates together irrespective of age, gender, able bodied status or shooting discipline.
You will get to meet a wide range of people all of whom will be keen to help you progress but more importantly enjoy the sport.
What will it cost to progress further?
Archery is a very accessible and relatively cheap sport. As with all sports, equipment can vary from the very reasonable to the ludicrously expensive but entry level archery equipment is very reasonably priced. You can start from as little as £120 (including bow, arrows, arm guard etc) for new equipment but many clubs will lend you their equipment until you are ready to buy your own.
Archery membership is an additional cost but many clubs offer annual membership for as little as £75 per year for adults.
