Archery has been turning up in pop culture all over the place. We are seeing tons of adults looking to gain archery skills and master a new hobby.
A private, one-hour long instruction will give you a great foundation to build upon in the sport of archery. This lesson covers safety, basic form, shot cycle and execution. The price includes equipment rental if needed, or you can use your own. Reservations are required.
The simple and only answer is never. Although archery is a physical sport and requires a reasonable degree of mobility and strength, you don’t need to be physically fit. However, it can also be suitable for those with a disability – including the blind or partially sighted. So, you can start archery at any age.
For a beginner seeking to develop good form, it is generally recommended that you choose the highest draw weight that you can pull back and hold steadily for 30 seconds with ease. This is usually 15-25# for a recurve or traditional bow, and 30-45# for a compound bow (due to the let-off).
Once you know where you’re going, consider what to wear. Choose clothes and shoes that are comfortable, because you’ll be standing while you shoot. Many archers wear jeans for practice or athletic attire. No open-toed shoes, no flip-flops, no high heels are allowed. No jewelry, watches, rings, and anything else that might get tangled in, or impede the movement of, the bow and/or arrow.
