Answer:

For beginners, we recommend starting with a recurve bow or a compound bow. Recurve bows are simple, easy to maintain, and great for learning basic form and technique. Compound bows, on the other hand, have a more modern design and help with accuracy due to their pulley system. It really depends on your preference and what you’re most comfortable with, but both are great options for new archers.

Answer:

Yes, but don’t worry! To get started, you'll need a bow, arrows, and some basic protective gear like an armguard and finger tab or release aid. Many ranges, including ours, offer rental gear for beginners, so you can try things out before making any big purchases. We can also guide you through selecting the right gear as you progress.

Answer:

The right size depends on your draw length and strength. We can help you measure your draw length here at the shop, which will determine the size of the bow and arrows you'll need. For beginners, it’s important to start with a lower draw weight (the amount of force required to pull back the bowstring) to ensure you develop proper technique without straining your muscles.

Answer:

Everyone learns at their own pace, but with consistent practice, you can learn the basics within a few weeks. As with any skill, the more you practice, the better you’ll get! We offer beginner classes and private lessons to help you get started on the right foot and progress at your own speed.
