I guide you personally on your stance, grip, and release with an Indian wooden bow, giving you enough time to fire 20 to 30 arrows. It is a hands-on, no-nonsense introduction to see if you have the focus and steady hand for the sport. Whether you are just curious about holding a bow or looking to see if archery is your next hobby, these sessions are designed for you. I keep the group setting focused so you get proper attention to your form and safety. **What you need to know:** * **The Equipment:** We provide Indian round bows, finger tabs, and arm guards. Note that these are entry-level wooden bows, not the compound or recurve setups used in major tournaments. * **The Venue:** We operate at open-air grounds at Karnala Sports Academy and the Dr. K. M. Vasudevan Pillai Campus. Since it is open-air, come prepared for outdoor conditions. * **Your Progression:** This is where your journey starts. If you show potential and interest, I can guide you toward advanced training, including recurve and compound archery, where we focus on competitive shooting and state-level representation. Archery is about discipline, and that starts with the fundamentals of stance and release. My goal is to get you comfortable and confident before you even think about hitting the bullseye. If you are aged 10 or above, you are ready to start. ## About Drona Archery Academy I am Mukesh Gurdhale, a Maharashtra Team coach. I believe perfect practice makes perfect, and that starts with your very first arrow. At my academy, I ensure you learn the right habits from day one so you can build your focus, discipline, and skill.
