Archery Instruction Program So, you have made the first step one of our come and try sessions and would like to know more. The Archery Instruction Program (AIP) is the next step. A 3 week more intensive course that delves into aspects of technique, equipment, scoring, etiquette and field archery. Each session is 2 hours with a set curriculum designed to take participants from a novice to a beginning club archer. This course gets quite detailed quickly and as such is not suitable for younger children (under 10) as they may struggle with some of the concepts and it is advised that parents also sit in on the theory components of this program. Children under 10 may only be accepted at the discretion of the coaching staff. (Please contact us to discuss children under 10 doing the course.) Week 1 covers: Introduction to Sherbrooke Archers Safety and etiquette The steps of good archery technique Scoring Target archery Weeks 2 & 3 cover: Stringing bows Sighting – including types and methods Equipment - Different bow types and trial of those bows Field archery

Whether you are a total archery novice or whether you have some limited archery knowledge, Sherbrooke Archers Come and Try sessions are the ideal place to start your archery adventure. Archery is suitable for all ability levels and is an ideal sport for those who have some disabilities. Age is no barrier with anyone from ages 7 and up welcome to have a go. In fact, archery is truly a family sport with many parents bringing their children along for a come and try session and end up becoming archers themselves. It is also not unusual at Sherbrooke to see 3 generations of family members all shooting together. Although the instructors are happy to answer any questions, the emphasis for these come and try sessions is on fun and safety foremost. The idea is to try archery casually before deciding on whether it is something that you wish to continue with. If you decide after a couple of these sessions that you may want to continue then a Sherbrooke Archers Archery Instruction Program may be the next step for you. These sessions are on a casual basis – there is no long commitment necessary.  You may attend 1, 2 or as many as you like. Our instructors are all qualified and accredited by Archery Australia and all have up to date working with children cards. All equipment is supplied. Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the scheduled start time to allow time for us to set you up with equipment.
