    During the summer I will have no real place to practise, I was given the idea to start something down here (the midlands).

    A couple of friends of mine are interested in archery, one did it in South Africa with her brother and are very eager. I also know sombody in Limerick Archery club who lives nearby.

    Is it too much hassle with insurance and equipment to start up anything??

    Or should I try?

    You should try.

    Contact the someone from IAAA.
    They will tell you what to do.
    You can buy secondhand Targets from Dublin Archers and IAAA membership is free for the first year.

    Definately contact the IAAA. They'll help you as much as possible. Where exactly are you thinking of?

    I'm sure you're not the only person who'd be interested so if you can give a general area that might spark some more interest.

    You might have problems with insurance etc initially but once you're affiliated with the IAAA that should quell a lot of that.

    I'm not sure if you need any insurance other than IAAA club affiliation? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong here.

    If you need any other help please feel free to post more here. We'll try to help you as much as we can...

    You will need to pay the IAAA €150 to affiliate the club with them and €70 per member €40 for students.
    This fee covers insurance and legal blah..

    Do you have anywhere in mind to shoot (your garden, a local sports complex, a farm etc..)

    Contact Jim Murry. He lives in the midlands and is already heavily invloved with Sportslink. I'm sure he would help.

    I live in Mullingar. When i was talking to my friends about it, the one that do archery, out of convience it might be easier to have something in the middle of town...maybe sompeople might find it a hard time to get out to wilsons.
    Maybe im wrong Ewan, thanks for the offer.......

    So just contact the IAAA about it and see what the stori is with fees and stuff....

    Where to get the money to affiliate the club with the IAAA and start off with equipment???

    There are some places in town that it could be held in...there be two secoundary schools. ive been to both so i could ask. Just because i live in the country don't mean it gotta be in a farm!!!!

    Who Jim Murrey??

    I wasn't slagging you or anything..
    Just if you know someone who owns alot of land it would be an ideal place to shoot.
