So you're thinking of getting started in the exciting hobby of Archery and Bowhunting? That's great! Here are some things to consider:
- What sort of archery are you interested in - the 3D target and Bowhunting that our Society promotes or 2D target (aka Olympic Archery)? The equipment requirements of these disciplines varies considerably; some of our members are also members of the local target club
- What sort of bow interests you the most - Traditional (Longbow, Recurve) or Compound?
- Are you left or right eye dominant? This will usually determine whether you shoot a left or right handed bow
Any bow regardless of type (indeed, all archery equipment) must be suited to the individual archer, and arrows must be matched to the bow. While there are all sorts of great deals on archery equipment available, if you don't know what you need chances are you'll end up with something that isn't appropriate which results in frustration and wasted dollars, potentially even injury! Before rushing out to purchase any equipment we strongly encourage you to come out and see us for some advice as to what gear will suit you.
