Archery Training and Student Achievements in Panvel
A look at our training ground and the champions we build. From your first shot to competition readiness, see how we train in Panvel.
As a coach, my first priority is your safety and proper form. Here, I'm providing hands-on guidance to a student on how to correctly handle a traditional Indian bow, ensuring they build a strong foundation from their very first day.
This is the feeling I want you to experience. The video shows the result of focus and practice: arrows hitting the center of the target. Our introductory session is your first step towards achieving this kind of precision.
This is me in my element, demonstrating the form and focus required for competitive compound archery. As a national medalist, I bring years of experience to every training session, whether you're a beginner or a seasoned competitor.
Archery is a sport for all ages, starting from 10 years old. This young champion from our academy is proof that with the right guidance, even our youngest archers can achieve great things at state-level competitions.
You'll be joining a community of passionate archers. This is part of our Drona Archery team, a group of dedicated students who train together, support each other, and share a love for the sport.
The results of dedication speak for themselves. I am incredibly proud of our student here, holding her first-rank trophy from the Raigad school district archery competition. Many of my students start with a simple trial session and find their passion for winning.
Welcome to our training ground. We have a full-sized range with multiple targets set up for practice at various distances, providing a professional environment for both beginner lessons and competitive training.
About Featured
We train on open-air grounds at Karnala Sports Academy, not a climate-controlled studio. You get 40 minutes with me or my team, focusing purely on your stance, safety, and release technique with a traditional Indian bow. It is rugged, honest training where you see your progress with every arrow.
Our Approach to Archery
Archery is a sport of focus, discipline, and precision. At Drona Archery Academy, we move beyond just shooting arrows. We focus on the why and how of every movement. Whether you are holding a wooden Indian round bow for the first time or training for a district competition with a recurve bow, the goal remains the same: perfect practice.
Why Train With Us?
- Hands-on Coaching: You are not left to figure it out alone. My team and I supervise every session to correct your stance and release.
- Real Results: We have a history of producing state and national-level winners, and our beginners often find their competitive spark right here on our range.
- Accessible Training: We operate at Karnala Sports Academy, providing a full-sized outdoor field that mimics the conditions you will face in real tournaments.
What to Expect
Our introductory sessions are designed to be simple. You get 40 minutes, a bow, and active guidance. We do not use complex systems in these sessions. We strip it back to the basics: handling, safety, and aim. If you want to see if this is for you, this is the place to start.
