When you have completed a Beginners’ Course, your coaches will advise you on suitable equipment – do not buy equipment before starting a beginners’ course!
A set of equipment for an archer can start from around £350-400.
You should join an archery club to ensure that you have insurance when you are shooting and, of course, somewhere to shoot. Meriden’s membership fees are based on the age of the person joining (adult, senior or junior) – for the first year of membership, for an adult the cost is around £195 a year. This includes the Club Fees, membership of ArcheryGB and affiliation to the County and Regional Archery Associations, and the first year joining fee.
