Get into Archery

Archery is for everyone, ladies, men and juniors, no matter what your body shape or level of fitness. It's an ideal family sport you can all enjoy.

There are different archery disciplines to choose from:

Field Archery
Originally developed for hunters as a way to practice, Field Archery has developed into the most popular form of archery today, with clubs throughout New Zealand . A Field Archery course is situated in a bush setting and contains 28 3-D or printed animal targets all set at different unknown distances (5 to 50 yards). Part of the skill is learning to judge distance accurately. Very much like golf, a group of four archers' collects a score at each target and will complete a round in about two hours. Field Archery is a sport you can enjoy all year round, as the bush is cool in summer and sheltered in winter.

Bowhunting
Bowhunting is a huge sport in the USA and becoming increasingly popular amongst archers and hunters here in New Zealand. Big game and small game animals as well as several varieties of fish are regularly taken with the bow here in New Zealand and you can get your start in the sport very quickly. Several of our customers have been successful on their first bowhunting trip after only a few lessons with their new bows.

Bowfishing
With all the great fishing available in New Zealand it didn't take long for bowhunters and field archers alike to try their hand at bowfishing. Koi carp are a popular target and a great activity for kids. Have you ever experienced the frustration of having fish swim by you when you have been fishing and not take a bait? Bowfishing is the answer, and your revenge. All you need is a bow, reel, solid fibreglass arrow and a fish point - it's that easy. A great sport for all.

Target Archery
Target Archery using Recurve bows is an Olympic Sport. Compound bows are also used in Target Archery and New Zealand sends teams to compete in World Championship Events in both disciplines. Target Archery is a demanding and very satisfying discipline. You shoot in the open at a static target face from a specified distance - which may vary from 30 to 90 metres, and rounds take between two to six hours.
