    Hey, I live in city center, I did airsoft before, but I found it boring and quit it, still want to be doing some kind of shooting at targets. So I am looking at archery. I was wondering how to start or where? What would be total price to get all the stuff for start up? (including traning, equipment etc...)
    I checked some websites but they dont specify prices in specifics. What are the rough estmations and where to start or go?

    should give you the basics

    first thing you need to do is find a club

    I assume you are in dublin
    http://archery.ie/site/index.php/current-clubs/leinster-clubs/

    use the link above to narrow down the clubs in your area.

    you will need to do a beginner course (50-100 depending on club)
    All the equipment will be provided - don't go out and buy anything yet

    after the beginner course you will need to join the club (cost depends on club ) and archery Ireland ( this covers the insurance 20 > 70 depending on age etc)


    after that you can look at buying your own gear.
    Like any sport you can but very expensive equipment,good bang for the buck equipment ( your bow should not go bang ) or you can get some decent cheaper equipment.

    second had equipment can offer good value.
