Progress Pathway – Pathway

Our Progress Pathway has been designed to help Novice archers, new to Archery to progress through different award schemes, at each step along the way increasing the shooting distance, the number of arrows shot or reducing the size of the target. This gradual change in shooting with measured levels of success gives you the confidence to improve your archery with small incremental changes whilst maintaining confidence. You choose when to move onto the next stage of the pathway, when you are ready. There is no rush to work up through the stages, its your journey, move up when you’re confident and ready.

You don’t need to do each stage in order, you can skip stages if you want to try something different, and there is no qualification or graduation to the next level, move up when it feels right for you.
