You know, the bill for the instructor, the bow and arraws and all the other stuff you need. I really want to learn,

It depends on which style you would like to start with. There is traditional which uses a longbow or recurve type($40-500), and the non traditional which would be compound bows(100-750),. I would suggest that you search the web for different bow types and prices (I know of a traditional bower who I and others have used with great results, and the costs aren’t sky high), check estate sales. As far as lessons, if you are in an unimproved area, creating your range would be about 40 dollars (two sheets of ply wood, a couple of 2×4’s and some scrap carpeting), then it’s practice, practice…. If you want that web site, it would be enjoy,

Assuming you are in the US, I suggest you check out the USA Archery JOAD (Junior Olympic Development Program) at or the NFAA (National Field Archery Association) After School Archery Program (ASAP) at . Both programs offer lessons including equipment at very reasonable rates. Some JOAD groups are for adults also so even if you are not under 18 either organization should be able to help find you an instructor. Hopefully one of these programs will operate near to you, if not, and if you attend a school willing to support your interest, contact the National Archery in the Schools Program at
