Introduction to Basic Archery

Archery includes a complex set of activities, from backyard target shooting to formal or field competitions, from family fun to bow hunting and bow fishing, or even the Olympic Games. But for each of these sports, the basics are the same. 

Archery is a sport that can involve people of all ages. You don’t have to be particularly strong to participate, and it doesn’t cost very much. 

This unit is designed to help beginning archers develop good fundamental shooting skills. It is based on the principle of immediate participation and immediate success. In other words, shooters are involved in hands-on experiences that will help reinforce the basic principles of archery.
