Welcome To
The Sport Of Archery.
We run Ozbow Introduction to Archery courses over a four-week period with four weeks break between courses. The first day of each course is also a Come & Try day. If you wish to participate in either the Come & Try day or the full course you must book on-line, and pay the relevant fee prior to commencement. The cost for the full four week course is $90 and the cost for the Come & Try day only is $25. The club supplies all of the equipment that you will need.
The Come & Try booking links offer you the choice of booking the Come & Try day only or the full Ozbow 4 week course. Please see the links at the bottom of this page to book your place for the Come & Try or the full Ozbow course.
If you book for the Come & Try day only and subsequently decide to continue
with the full course,
you will be able to book the remaining 3 weeks at a cost of $65. You will
need to do this prior to the commencement of
the second day of the OzBow course by clicking on the
relevant Ozbow Upgrade link. Booking the Ozbow
Upgrade requires completion of the Come & Try day.
We require all participants and visitors to sign in upon arrival using the
club QR Code posted on the door to the club house. This is a requirement to ensure we meet our obligations to
Archery Australia for insurance purposes.
Our course starts about 10.00 am on Saturday but we do like participants to
arrive by 9.30 am at the latest in order to set them up with the appropriate
equipment so we can commence shooting no later than 10.00 am. The course
runs for 90 minutes.
At the competition of your 4 weeks, you will be a competent, safe archer and
be ready to take your place on the shooting line together with our more
senior Archers. You will also have a better idea of the various styles
of shooting, Recurve, Compound, Longbow, and all styles of barebow.
We find that most people who continue on with our sport, purchase their own
equipment and join up as a full member of our club and enjoy the benefits as
such. If you do decide that you want to continue on, and purchase your own
equipment, please chat to one of our instructors or Coaches for advice on
what is most suitable for your own personal requirements and chosen type of
bow prior to purchasing.
Our tuition is carried out by two accredited “Archery Australia
Coaches/Instructors”. The club has two “Archery Australia Instructors"
and two "Archery Australia Club Coaches” so you are assured of receiving
exceptional tuition.
Also, please bear in mind that if you decide to go down the path of the
OzBow course and joining our club, your training does not end after the 4
weeks have elapsed. Once you move up the line to participate
with our more experienced archers our club Instructors and Coaches are
always close at hand to give advice and help you to get the best out of our
sport. You will also be able to do the Oz Bow certification at no charge.
This gives you purpose and direction as you start out and helps you find
your feet.
We hope you enjoy the experience and look forward to seeing you on the
shooting line.
