SD found a superb answer for one of NRs problems

Well worth it tigs, its how my family got into archery about 5 years ago, we did a taster in Peterlee then a six evening course which cost about £25. Dunno what the archery shops are like in South Yorks but up here they wont sell you good kit or expensive kit because they know through experience that if you lash out money on kit now your archery style etc will have changed within 6 weeks. so to save you wasting lots of money they nag you into doing the course.

And they were right.
