Hi Guys
I was just browsing the FITA website and I see that they have a Beginners Awards programme which seems to support novices, like myself, throught the initial stages of training and grants awards accordingly (which I presume helps to keep the novice archer interested and motivated).
My club dont offer this (as far as I know) and just wondered if it was used in the UK or if its more geared towards European or other clubs?
Im so interested and obsessed about archery it has kind of taken me by surprise since I "discovered" it about 2 months ago. Im sure it will take a while to master just the basics but already am wondering how on earth you can progress if no further coaching is available (other than asking members on the shooting line of course).
What do you guys do? Do you hire a personal coach, or go to a club that offers coaching at improvers level? I just hate to think that at the end of 6 weeks thats it and my improvement will be solely in the hands of my fellow members (which doesnt really seem fair on them to be honest! )
Any thoughts?
