Unhappy new archers in our club.A sign of the times ??
I have been teaching archery for 35 years now and I am wondering what we am doing wrong as our club have knocked our selves out over the past few years teaching 52 weeks of the year. We have Longbow Compound and Recurve at our club but it is smaller now than 5years ago.We have introduced incentive schemes to get people up and running ,we let people borrow club equipment for a reasonable while so that they know what equipment they want to buy.We are a friendly club but it is like filling a bucket with a hole in it . We keep taking people in and after a year or two they are off having lost interest. We try to encourage archers to shoot league scores ,we have club shoots and go to tournaments but I feel like we are losing the battle. Are we alone in this problem or is it symptomatic of the times we now live in .
