What is the recommended distance for beginners to shoot an arrow?

The recommended distance for beginners to shoot an arrow is typically set at 10 to 15 yards. This distance strikes a balance that allows new archers to develop their skills and learn proper technique without becoming overwhelmed. Additionally, shooting from this range helps to foster confidence as they are more likely to hit their targets, which encourages enjoyment of the sport and promotes a positive learning environment.

Shooting at this distance allows instructors to provide immediate feedback and guidance on form, stance, and follow-through, making it easier for beginners to internalize what they are learning. As archers gain experience and confidence, they can gradually increase the shooting distance, helping to build their skills progressively.
