General

At what age is it possible to start shooting with a bow?

Fitarco indicates 8 years old as the reference age to start shooting with a bow. Starting from 9 years old, it is possible to participate in youth competitions (Pinocchio Trophy). There is nothing to prevent starting earlier, keeping in mind that the possibility of using a school bow effectively is linked to the child's height and strength. But it is not necessary to be a child to start shooting! One of the advantages of archery is that it is possible to start shooting at any age and still achieve good results.

Until what age can you shoot with a bow?

The beauty of archery is that there is no age at which you are too old to shoot! You can start shooting from childhood and never stop!

Can you learn to shoot a bow on your own?

Shooting with a bow is not as simple as it may seem to an external observer. Our advice is always to take at least one course at one of the archery societies, so as to have a solid foundation to progress from.

Is myopia a problem?

No, on the contrary, archery is one of the few sports that can be practiced with everyday glasses without the risk of damaging them. Although it may seem impossible, with particular aiming equipment, even the visually impaired can shoot with a bow.

Purchase

What do RH and LH mean in product selection?

RH stands for right hand, while LH stands for left hand. RH/LH always refer to the archer (unless otherwise specified), with RH for a right-handed archer and LH for a left-handed archer. When choosing accessories, it is important to always refer to the archer, not where the accessory is worn. For example, when choosing an arm guard, a right-handed archer should select one labeled RH, even though for a right-handed archer, the arm guard is worn on the left.

If I grip the riser with my left hand, am I a right-handed archer?

Yes, a right-handed archer grips the bow with the left hand and pulls the string with the right. For a left-handed archer, it is naturally the opposite.

Do I need a firearms license to purchase a crossbow?

No. In Italy, crossbows are subject to free sale. However, it is mandatory to never transport a loaded crossbow.
