Competency Assessment

If you who have completed a beginner’s course with another archery club or have appropriate archery club experience, you can request a competency assessment.

Appropriate archery club experience is usually previous membership of an Archery Alliance of Australia club - Archery Australia (AA), 3D Archery Association of Australia (3DAAA) or Traditional Archery Australia (TAA).


The competency assessment has three main elements:

Bow Style   Score (/180)

Seniors Juniors

    Compound 120+ 110+

Recurve Sighted   90+   70+

Recurve Barebow   70+   50+

Longbow   70+   40+


If you are deemed to be competent, you will be able to apply for provisional membership of the club. Archers deemed not yet competent will need to undertake an Illawarra Archers Beginner’s Course or other instruction before being able to apply for membership.

If you believe you meet the criteria described above you can request a competency assessment.
