Children can usually start archery around the age of three. However, it’s important to note that every child is different, and it depends on their physical and mental development.

Archery is an exciting sport for young adventurers. Children should understand key safety principles and follow these basic rules:

• Always choose a safe place to shoot and ensure no people or animals are nearby.
• Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and weight evenly distributed.
• Keep the upper body upright with relaxed shoulders. The bow arm should be extended, and the arrow placed correctly.
• Hold the bow firmly but not too tightly. The grip should feel natural.
• Focus on the target. Closing one eye can help improve accuracy.
• Only draw the bow to a point that feels comfortable. Don’t overdraw.
• Let the arrow go smoothly and evenly, aiming for a clean shot.

Archery helps children build a wide range of abilities:

• Improves body control, coordination, posture, and fine motor skills.
• Teaches children to block distractions and stay concentrated.
• Successfully hitting a target builds confidence and a sense of achievement.
• Helps children learn to slow down, plan, and focus.
• In group settings, archery encourages cooperation and responsibility.

Yes, the right gear is important:

• A lightweight children’s bow suited to their size and strength.
• Arrows matched to the child’s build, ideally made of wood or carbon.
• An arm guard to protect the forearm.
• A finger or tab protector to shield the fingers from the string.
• A safe, appropriate target for their skill level and distance.

There are different types of archery targets:

• Target face: A standard circular target with colored rings and a bullseye.
