Your First Steps into Archery
Archery is a skill that anyone can master with patience. We guide you from your very first hold to hitting the bullseye in a safe and supportive environment.
It's never too early to start. We welcome kids as young as five to learn the fundamentals of archery in a safe and fun environment, nurturing the next generation of champions right from their first shot.
A fantastic debut for our Under 9 archery team. This was their first district tournament, and they played wonderfully to secure the first position. We are so proud of our youngest champs.
The power lies within you. We guide beginners through their first experience with a bow and arrow, teaching them the basics of form and safety with therabands before they even touch a real bow.
About First Steps in Archery
You don't need your own gear to start. Our Discovery Session is designed for total beginners—we’ll walk you through range safety, how to stand, and the basics of aiming using club-provided equipment at our Palam Vihar facility.
Archery is not about natural talent; it is about showing up and doing the work. Whether you are five or fifty, you start in the same place: understanding how to hold the bow and respect the range.
What to Expect
Your first session is all about building a foundation. We focus on:
- Range Safety: Learning whistle commands and how to handle a bow without injuring yourself or others.
- Body Mechanics: Before you touch an arrow, you learn how to stand. We focus on your stance, your anchor point, and how to use your back muscles—not just your arms—to draw the bow.
- The Gear: We provide the recurve bow, arrows, and arm guard for your trial session. You don't need to buy a thing until you are sure this is for you.
The 'Avid' Approach
We don't believe in quick fixes. Ek din mein champion nahi banta. (Nobody becomes a champion in a day.) Your journey begins with consistency. Even in your first hour, you will feel the difference between just 'shooting' and actually 'aiming' with focus. We use therabands to teach form before moving to live shooting, ensuring you have the strength and alignment to avoid bad habits.
Why Start Here?
Our Palam Vihar range is open to everyone. We celebrate small wins because that is how big athletes are made. If you enjoy your first session, we can guide you to our monthly batches where you will train alongside a team that supports, pushes, and celebrates every score you hit.
Avid Archery Club
We are the Avid Archery family, and we believe archery is for everyone. We don't just teach you to shoot; we build the focus and discipline you need to excel, whether you are here for a hobby or chasing a medal.
