How to learn the archery skills and become a club member
People who are interested in learning the archery skills can attend courses several times per year. In approximately six lessons, a professional archery trainer will teach people the basic archery skills. After these lessons people can become a junior member for three months. During this period, people can improve their archery skills and at the same time get to know the club better and people learn how to handle archery equipment the proper way as it remains a deadly weapon when used improperly. Also during this period, they can still use archery equipment from the club, with exception of the arrows. After these three months people can become a member of the club. People have to own their own equipment at that time. Our trainers will help you select the proper archery equipment, matching your personal and physical requirements and your budget.
Some people are so enthousiastic that they have already bought their own equipment and they want to use this during the lessons.
We discourage this for several reasons.
Too often it happens that people really know which type of bow they would like to shoot during the course or during their junior membershipperiod.
Sometimes the bow does not shoot fine or it is too light for them, or even much worde, the bow is too heavy. A guarantee for injuries.
We think this is a waste of money ant it certainly does not motivate anyone to continue this sport.
The course we give is the same for everybody. With the same bows and other basic equipment. Everybody learns the basic techniques before they choose the bow they would like to use after the course.
As mentioned before, the trainers will gladly help you select your own equipment, especially for children in their growth.
