REDRUTH ARCHERS BEGINNERS' COURSES:
The Club welcomes beginners and will happily train them on our six week course. The broad content of the beginners' course is set down by our National Governing Body; the Grand National Archery Society (now Archery GB).
This year's (2011) beginners' course has now been completed, and our next course will be in Spring 2012. We expect that this will comprise 5 sessions at an indoor venue, with a final session at our club field.
Please e-mail Ann Callaway, our club secretary for further details about our next course in 2012.
Please view the following pages for course, and starter information:
After joining the club, new members start by going through our own Improvers' Scheme in which they must achieve a score of 100 points from two dozen consecutively shot arrows (50% target hits for longbow archers) at a specified progressive distances for each badge. (Maximum 60 yards for adults, shorter distances for juniors according to age).
After this (or even during this period) you can start shooting recognised rounds (set by our National & International Governing Bodies: GNAS & FITA) and hopefully enter Open Tournaments around the locality and maybe further afield.
