Try the Getting Started Thread perhaps. It's there for a reason!

Only problem is irisharchery.com is still down.

Give us an idea of where you're living and we'll try to remember a local club for you.

I think the recognised way to start is to go out to the garden and shout:

"Bring me my bow of burning gold
Bring me my arrows of desire
Bring me my shield, O clouds, unfold
Bring me my chariot of fire"

and then wait a bit. Alternatively, you could boot up Google and enter "archery" and your locality, and see if any clubs or lessons come up; I found a course in Clondalkin that way.

I'm new to this forum too, so I hope I'm not breaking any rules here, but if anyone can tell me of a club close to Portobello that would be nice. I was in the archery club in UCD a few years ago. In fairness, I was only a student there for about four/five months, but while I was there I enjoyed the sport. I'd like to get back to it if anyone can advise me?

irisharchery.com still not working When it's up, look at the full list of clubs there.

Anyway, of non-college clubs, in South Dublin, there is only Dun Laoghaire club. In North Dublin, closest to Portobello is Dublin Archers in Whitehall/Raheny.

As well as Dun Laoghaire, there's also Greenhills archery. That might be easier to get to from Portobello
