Equipment

Clubs will have access to equipment suitable to learn with. Even if you know the kind of equipment you want, it would be a mistake to buy it right away since your muscles will gradually get used to the new exercise of pulling a bow. If you buy an expensive bow that you can pull straight away it will soon become too light for you. But if you buy a bow with a draw weight that you believe might suit you after a few months of practise, you will not be able to pull it now and your learning will be hampered. Also, if you get a bit competitive you may want to first look at what your fellow club members shoot with so you can measure yourself and enjoy the spark of competition.
