Hi Vanya I have moved your post in here for you Its great to hear a bit about you, if you have a look in our beginners forum you will see other posts from beginners about the courses they have done We will be looking forward to hearing how you get on with your course Sorry but I don't know of any beginners books but someone may be along later that does What type of archery are you going to be doing, target or field A bit more info about it here http://www.gnas.org/index.cfm http://www.nfas.net/index.asp Do have a look at the sites listed on the left here, - Merlin, Quicks, Bickersaffe etc. there are some tips and information there that might interest you. Best advice I can give you is don't buy anything until you have completed your course, try all the different options you can, but most of all enjoy it Any more questions just ask we will do our best to help _________________ aka Cherrie Secretary Black Arrow Field Archery Club

Welcome Vanya. To what is perhaps the most friendly forum on the internet. Good work on geting stuck right in with the posting, you'll have a great time. As concerns books, I think rather than buying to start with, a trip to your local library might be worthwhile, I was surprised at how many archery related books ours has. If you are buying, I would heartily recommend Simon Needham's The art of repetition, it goes through the basics, but has plenty of advanced stuff in it, making it a useful reference throughout your time in the sport.

Also shooting KG Cobra Deluxe, with big wooden arrows, there's also a stave of wood in my loft with a longbow hiding in it, going looking for it soon!
