Archery Improvement & Development Squad- ‘AIMS’
This program has been developed for members to shoot in a social environment on a regular basis to improve their archery skills whilst being rewarded for their achievements.
At ‘AIMS’ we encourage archers to attend the program on a regular basis so they can benefit from regular archery improvement and goals achievement set out in the program. LCA coaches and more experienced club members can assist in you reaching your goals with equipment tuning and advice, but this program is not a coaching clinic.
If you would like individual coaching, please speak with one of our accredited coaches for available times and associated costs.
All archers’ goals will be dependent on their skill level, bow type and age, with achievement awards presented to individuals once their goals are achieved.

We encourage LCA members of all skill levels to starts at the beginning of the AIMS program so we can collect feedback and monitor individual goals set out for each archery group.
Once you have completed all AIMS goals, you will be eligible to participate in the Promoting Engagement Archery Knowledge program- ‘PEAK’, where individuals are set more challenging score goals.
Please speak with a committee member or club member for more details or check the FAQ’s below:
