So you have an interest in archery and would like to find out more.
We would recommend that your first step would be to get in contact with one of the IAAA registered clubs. The information on clubs in your area can be found by clicking the Clubs tab at the the of the page or here.
In order to join a club, and by extension the IAAA, it is necessary that all potential newcomers undergo a 6 week beginner course. Clubs regularly run these courses at various intervals throughout the year. These courses are usually run one night a week over 6 consecutive weeks.
The fee for such a course, payable in advance, is at the discretion of each club, but can vary between €50 to €100 depending on club overheads incurred in hall rental etc.
As this is a voluntary organisation, all monies accrue to the club. Coaches freely give of their time. We do not recommend that you purchase any equipment prior to completion of the beginners course and then only under the advisement of the club coach.
The clubs will provide all equipment necessary for the duration of the course. Upon completion of the course you should be invited to join the club and the IAAA. Archery is a great sport for all ages and abilities.
