This 68 page, full-colour publication, has been designed to
guide beginners through their first steps in target archery.
It’s simple, easy to follow, suitable for all ages and covers:
BOW
Like most sports, archery can
involve a large range of
equipment and accessories.
But you only really need basic
equipment to get started - a
bow, some arrows, a bracer,
finger tab, a quiver and a
target to shoot at.
