There are five main types of bows commonly used in Australia, each offering a unique style and challenge. Many archers enjoy shooting more than one type, discovering the different techniques and experiences each bow provides. Archery is a diverse sport, and offers members opportunities to explore multiple bow types to enjoy the full breadth of what it has to offer, including:
