If your thinking about taking up archery whats stopping you, there are very few limitations to enjoying our wonderful sport…

Age

We advise a minimum age of ten years. It is possible to start archery at any age, however, it does take concentration, patience, listening skills and the ability to try and try again. Young people are growing and as bone grows faster than muscle, damage could occur in very young children so, with that in mind, we suggest that your age be in double figures before contacting us.
There is no maximum age limit, although you need to bear in mind that there is a certain amount of strength required to pull a bow and the need for flexibility particularly in your shoulder joints.

Ability

Archery is for everyone. You need no special ability to start and your training with Chichester Bowmen will help to improve your confidence in handling a bow which will lead to the ability to be successful in this sport.
