For Disabled

Archery with Disabilities

Logan Archers supports archers with all abilities, including members competing at national and international para-archery events and the Invictus Games. Club facilities include disabled parking bays, an accessible toilet, and cement paths on the shooting range.  Experienced coaches can take you from novice to elite level competitor and our members provide a friendly, supportive environment. You will need to arrange your own carer if required. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

As a sport, archery can cater for a range of disabilities and visual impairments. Therefore, the club welcomes and encourages people with a disability or visual impairment to join. All newcomers to Logan Archers must do a Beginners Course before being accepted as a club member. Courses are held at our Tully Memorial Park range range from 8am – 12pm on a Saturday (please refer to the Calendar), all equipment is provided. In the event of inclement weather, courses will be rescheduled. An induction session is held from 11am – 12pm on the Saturday following for Beginner Course attendees.

All beginners, including those with a disability or vision impairment, participate in the same instruction process on the same shooting line. If you require an assistant for your participation, your assistant must do the Archery Beginners Course with you. This is for your safety and so that the assistant can receive instruction on how to become an archery assistant.

The club requires advance notice about beginners who have a disability or visual impairment. This will allow the club if necessary to allocate extra coaching or one-on-one coaching. Please be aware that as Logan Archers is run solely by volunteers and volunteer coaches who give their time freely.

Archers who require an assistant and who decide to join the club as members must always organise and attend with their own assistant. The club cannot provide assistants. Assistants are required to join the club as Associate Members (non-shooting members) and can attend an Archery Beginners Course free of charge. This ensures that the club meets its insurance obligations and safety protocols are followed.

Please see the Try Archery and Calendar pages for further details and to register for a course.
