Why archery?
Focus and calm
Archery demands concentration — a great way to disconnect from daily noise and clear your mind.
Strength and coordination
It builds back and shoulder muscles, improves posture, and develops whole-body precision.
A sport with a future
Train purely for recreation, or — when ambition strikes — compete at regional and national level.
A local archery community
Świstrzały is more than a sports club — it's a place for anyone who enjoys archery and good company. Come as long as it makes you happy. No commitments.
- Recreational or competitive — your choice
- Come when you can — no fixed schedule
- Regular club events: shooting, barbecues and good company
Common questions
Is archery safe?
Yes — it's one of the safest sports for children and adults alike. Shooting happens in rounds with clear commands. When anyone is near the targets, nobody shoots.
Do I need my own equipment?
No. For drop-in sessions and your first weeks of training we provide bow, arrows and all accessories. You only think about buying your own gear once you know you're staying.
What's the minimum age?
10 years old. The main requirement is adequate physical development and readiness to learn technique. There is no upper age limit — we have archers of all ages.
Is archery an expensive sport?
Not at the start. Club equipment is included in the session price. When you decide on your own bow, many experienced archers sell used gear — a good way to start without great expense.
Can I come alone?
Absolutely. Many people start on their own. There's always an instructor and a welcoming group on site.
Do I need to be fit?
No special fitness needed. Archery is a precision sport, not an endurance one — it suits any fitness level.
Is archery hard to learn?
You'll be shooting arrows from the very first session. Technique develops over time — the instructor guides you step by step.
Your first session — what to expect
Arrive in indoor sports shoes
A change of shoes is required. Long hair should be tied back for safety. Comfortable clothes are fine — no sports kit needed.
Instructor walks you through the basics
Stance, grip, drawing the string — you learn everything from scratch with an experienced instructor in a small group.
You shoot at the target
Within a few minutes you'll be releasing your first arrows. Distance and bow weight are adjusted individually for you.
You decide what comes next
You can join the club or keep coming to drop-in sessions. No commitment required on your first visit.
