Get Into Archery
Come and Try Sessions
Your pathway into archery starts with a come and try session at your local club. This will provide a focused time to introduce the basic skills and technique to get you started where you can progress through a range of programs.
Come and try sessions
“Come and Try” sessions are designed for people who want to give archery a go without needing their own equipment. Under the guidance of accredited coaches, you’ll learn the basics of safety, technique, equipment, etiquette and be introduced to the community within that club. It’s the perfect first step to get started in the sport.
Beginners course
A beginners course is the next steps after completing your come and try to get serious about the sport. On joining a club it is a mulitple week program where you receive equipment and time to build on your skills and confidence as you are introduced to the sport and build on your technique and style.
Oz Bow
OzBow is an Archery Australia program developed to provide a structured and inclusive pathway for new archers to develop their skills. Perfect for all ages and abilities, this self-paced and independent program allows participants to progress and builds skills and confidence while collecting a progression of badges as you work through each level.
Benefits of Archery
Archery is a fun sport that builds hand-eye coordination skills along with balance, core stability and upper body strength. When drawing the bow back you are engaging shoulders, arms, core, back and legs muscles all to create a smooth and consistent shot every time.
Bows can be customised to the archer, so it can be tailored to their individual needs such as draw weight of the bow (how much weight you are pulling back). Archery is also highly customisable for our para archery and allows for stools, wheelchairs and release aids to ensure everybody can try archery.
