Archery..... Getting Started
So you have an interest in archery and would
like to find out more.
We would recommend that your first step would be to get
in contact with one of the IAAA registered clubs. The information
on clubs in your area can be found by clicking the link
to the left.
In order to join a club, and by extension
the IAAA, it is necessary that all potential newcomers undergo
a 6 week beginner course. Clubs regularly run these courses
at various intervals throughout the year. These courses
are usually run one night a week over 6 consecutive weeks.
The fee for such a course, payable in advance, is at the
discretion of each club, but can vary between €50 to
€100 depending on club overheads incurred in hall rental
etc.
As this is a voluntary organisation, all monies accrue to
the club. Coaches freely give of their time.
We do not recommend that you purchase any
equipment prior to completion of the beginners course and
then only under the advisement of the club coach.
The clubs will provide all equipment necessary for the duration
of the course.
Upon completion of the course you should
be invited to join the club and the IAAA.
Archery is a great sport for all ages and
abilities.
Happy Shooting !
