*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
There is no hard-and-fast rules for getting started in archery. Much depends on factors that would include your age, natural ability, spare time, character traits and personal finances; all playing a role. We suggest a few basic considerations and principles to follow, but again these should not be considered set in stone.
In this article we�ll use a child between the age of 10 and 16 years of age that has recently found an interest in the sport. As the parent you will want to take the young archer to a local archery club where he can get exposed to the different sizes, weight and types of junior bow and arrow sets, the arrow lengths and the various distances that targets are placed and fired. If at all possible have an experienced archer give your child a few tips and pointers and observe him in practice. I would want to get the best equipment for my child but would probably be thinking that second-hand good quality junior bow and arrow set is the best bet as interests can fade as soon as they have appeared. As a beginner high-end equipment is probably not suitable or needed in the early stages.
Needless to say your child will need a bow. We suggest a good option would be a junior recurve bow or a long bow. Light equipment is the best for learning the basics of the sport which is fundamental if your child is going to catch on to the sport. There are a few other components to get that will complete the set. A bow case will be great to store the set away but will keep all the components together such as arrows, arm protectors and a set of finger tabs. These protect the finger tips but makes it a bit easier pulling back the string whilst gripping the arrow.
Apart from the bow the arrows is the second most important piece of equipment. Arrows are not universal and should be measured to fit the particular bow type. All beginners should be measured to understand which arrow lengths are the best fit. A number of aspects around the arrow should be considered such as the nock, shaft, fletching or �feathers� the inserts and the tips of the arrows. If you are not the expert then be sure to consult the local professional to understand the technicalities behind all these terms. A quiver is also a good investment as this is used to keep the arrows in and importantly to protect them from damage.
A recurve bow is probably the best bow to start with whether you are a child or adult. Give it a few months and a better grasp of the differences between recurve bows and compound bows would be better understood to decide which one if preferred.
To put your interest into practise join an archery shooting range or club. These generally have sets newcomers can use until they advanced their skills set sufficiently. There are also a number of members around that would be more than happy to provide advice when required and is a great excuse for a good social.
