Week 9 - 4 September 2012: Legend Streamline Recurve Bag

Legend Streamline Recurve Bag very nicely priced at £42.50 from Ten Ring Archery

Looking for your first recurve case, but would rather spend your money on your bow than a bag? Archery specific bags can cost a fortune so why waste your money on a necessity that wouldn't improve your shooting. I recently came across this simple, but effective recurve bag which is very reasonably priced (considering the price of others I have seen). 

The Legend Streamline is 69 cm tall, 20 cm wide and 20 cm deep and will fit risers up to 25". It comes complete with arrow tube and typically with a removable nylon sleeve for limbs and riser (check with individual sellers) and front accessories pocket. Comes in black, blue, silver and red and contains polyethylene shock absorbing foam for added protection. The bag can be worn as a rucksack via back straps or carried via side handles.

If you want to spend even less, you can buy soft recurve cases. However, these often lack an arrow tube or any substantial padding or protection and are often used by clubs just as a means of storage.  

Come try Archery for free during Archery GB Big Weekend (UK)

Have you been inspired by Olympic archers, or just fancied picking up a bow and giving archery a go? Well now you can come try archery for FREE with no obligations and under the guidance of experienced coaches at one of the  Archery Big Weekend  events near you.

The Archery Big Weekend event is taking place from 25th to the 27th August 2012 all over the UK at several archery clubs from Middlesbrough to London and Cornwall. 

No experience required

Free

Everyone can shoot 

(Check with your local event in case they are unable to provide services for disabled or very young archers)

Beginners course shown above, but be prepared for the Archery Big Weekend events to be packed with people so come prepared with drinks and food.

This is not only a great opportunity to give Archery a go, but would also make a fantastic family day out during the school holidays. All events will be run by experienced coaches who will be able to provide a safe environment and if you find your self hooked event organisers can give details about joining your local club. You can just turn up on the day without prior booking but local club secretaries can be contacted if you wish to find out more first.
