Almost all the archery clubs have program for beginners but there is no harm asking if they are running any archery for beginners program. Archery equipment are costly so please ask if they have equipment you can possibly rent. Avid Archery Club is one of the famous archery club in India who provides best archery training and they also provide free equipment for the first month under archery for beginners program to help beginners discover about their interest in the game.

You can check if archery club provides equipment on rent, if they do then take the equipment on rent and understand about your interest in the game of archery. Archery equipment are expensive so better discover your interest first and then invest in purchasing quality equipment. You can also purchase beginners kit which is cheap and can help you in discovering your interest in the archery. Also take understanding of different types of bows and discover which is suitable for you. Primarily there are two types i.e. recurve and compound bows. 

Discover eye dominance to identify which side of your body (left arm or right arm) can hold the bow to get better results. Although dominant hand seems important but dominant eye can affect how you aim while shooting.

Your size and strength are the main deciding factor for the bow as it determines your draw weight. Identifying draw weight is one of the thing where trainer/expert from archery club can help.

5. Use safety gears

Understand from the expert about safety gears which an archer uses while shooting. Always use safety gears to protect yourself while shooting. Finger tab protects your finger from the strain of pulling as string can hurt your finger badly, arm guard protects your arm from the string when it's released during the shooting. Chest guard also protects you from the snap of string. Always take extra precautions when you start out.

6. Identify arrow length

Take help of expert from archery club to discover about your draw length and choose your arrows based on your draw length. There are different types of arrow made with wood, carbon, fiberglass etc. Draw length plays very important role for beginners and choose arrows which are less costly in the beginning as arrows get damaged when you miss the target.

7. Keep playing

Keep practicing and master the fundamentals. Keep checking with trainer and show the score to understand areas of improvement. It takes lot of effort and time to become an expert archer, so focus on learning the technique of grouping rather than focusing on bulls eye.
