Training
AIS archers do controlled shooting as a group, five-days a week for about four to five hours a day (three hours only on one day each week), shooting between 200 and 300 arrows in a day's practice.
In addition, archers are expected to do an additional individual shooting practice. This training is done in the AIS Archery Centre
Team members also do three, strength and conditioning sessions a week, each one of about one hour's duration.
Training programs for juniors or beginners would be very different to this program and there are many clubs around Australia that could offer assistance. A list and contact details can be found on the Archery Australia website. If you're already a club member then you should consult your personal or Club coach for a program to suit you.
