Archery

[Jangal Da]

I would love to take up archery again. As a kid I was taught how to make my own kit, including recurve bows using steam bending (or rebending to be more precise). Back then I had bags of time and the space.

I think I'd find joining a club too restrictive and not justify the committment in terms of time these days. Ideally buying a nearby woodland plot would be fantastic. The problem with the UK is the lack of open space, even in the countryside. I don't think that is not such an issue in places like Canada at all.

There are a couple of clubs in birmingham

just go here to search your area - http://www.archerygb.org/support/clubs/club_finder.php

they are usually really friendly and you can take young kids too as long as they are over 8

for beginners they will provide you with equipment and help you get started.

you can also setup a short range at home, but would only recomend this if you are experienced and have the correct environment

as long as you buy a big boss target, and place it on the floor so your shooting downwards and have enough clearance behind and to the sides should be OK - theres not many back gardens that could accomodate this though, have to be very careful.

and just use light poundage bows.

my son is 7 and shoots a childs compound bow, he absolutely loves it.

archery is an awesome, really relaxing and fun

Nice video Taran Singh Ji, very inspiring for the youth. Hope you move on to the more traditional bows if you haven't done so already :-).

Is that you?

If that's you TaranSingh, you look a lot like the Singh who owns the "wootz" brand. I met him two weeks ago or so, was a really nice Singh.

I think these are official clubs. They probably wont teach you how to shoot like in the awesome videos above or how to use bows in the wild for hunting/survival, though you may come across some people who do.

Personally, I would just get a shotgun licence.
