Yes — we ship anywhere in Tamil Nadu and across India. Within Chennai most orders reach you in 1–2 days. Elsewhere in Tamil Nadu is typically 2–4 days, and the rest of India 4–7 days. Bows travel in a hard tube or case; we pack them ourselves rather than leaving it to the courier.

Both, and every product page says which. "In stock in Chennai" means it is on our shelf right now. "Available to order" means we get it from an Indian distributor, usually within a week. "Imported" means it ships from abroad, and we show the realistic lead time — normally 4 to 8 weeks. A lot of people assume all archery gear has to be imported. Most of what a club archer needs is not.

Accessories and arrows ship free within Tamil Nadu on orders above ₹3,000. Below that it is a flat ₹150. Bows and hard cases are quoted per shipment because of size — we tell you the figure before anything is dispatched, never after.

Usually, if it is in stock in Chennai — tell us the competition date and we will tell you honestly whether it can be done. During ranking season we prioritise archers with a dated event. If it needs importing and your event is under six weeks away, we will say so rather than take the order and hope.

Yes, and for anything that needs fitting we would prefer it. Bows, tabs and arrows all shoot better when sized in person, and the fitting does not cost extra. Order through this chat and collect when it is ready.

Lower than most people expect. For an adult starting out, 18–24 lb on the fingers is normal; for a child, 12–16 lb. Starting too heavy is the single most common mistake we see, and it builds form errors that take months to correct. Because our starter bows are takedown, you move up by buying limbs — not a new bow.

The quick version: stand with arms out, measure fingertip to fingertip in inches, divide by 2.5. That gets you close. But it shifts once your form settles, and arrows cut to a guess are wasted money — so we measure it properly on a draw-length arrow in the shop before cutting anything.

It depends on your draw length, your draw weight at that length, and the point weight you shoot — not on the bow's marked poundage, which is measured at 28". Tell us those numbers and we will work it out and cut them for you. Arrow spine is the most common thing people get wrong buying online, and a mismatched shaft will never group no matter how well you shoot.

Yes. We keep club bows in the common poundages for exactly this. Come by during shop hours and shoot a few ends — no appointment needed, though a message first means we will have the right sizes out and ready for you.

If you are shooting at school or club level in India, or aiming at Olympic-style events, start recurve — it is what most competition categories here are built around. Compound suits archers who want a mechanical, highly repeatable setup and are training for compound categories specifically. If you are unsure, do not buy either yet; come and shoot both.

Yes, for recurve and compound, whether or not the bow came from us. Recurve strings are usually same-day. Compound needs a press and is typically next-day. We also build custom strings to your measurements.

Manufacturer warranty applies as normal — generally one year on risers and limbs against manufacturing defects, and we handle the claim with the distributor for you rather than sending you to do it. Damage from dry-firing or from a limb strike is not covered by anyone, but we can usually still repair it.

Yes. Paper tuning, bare-shaft tuning, centre-shot, brace height, nocking point and tiller — that is core to what we do rather than an add-on service. It is free on anything bought from us and charged modestly otherwise.

The parts that actually break, yes: nocks, points, vanes, plunger springs, limb bolts, peep sights, D-loops, string material. If we do not have your specific part we can nearly always source it — send us the brand and model.

Unused items in original packaging can be returned within 7 days. Cut arrows, custom-built strings and special-import orders cannot be returned, since they are made or brought in specifically for you — we will always flag that clearly before you commit.

Yes. Beginner courses, individual technique sessions, and ongoing squad coaching for archers competing at district level and above. The shop grew out of the coaching, not the other way round.

Less than you would think, and you do not need to buy anything before a first session. When you are ready, a takedown recurve, six arrows cut to their draw length, a tab and an arm guard covers it. We put that together as one fitted bundle so nothing is missed and nothing is oversold.

State ranking rounds usually begin in September, with district events through October and zonals in November. Exact dates come from the association each year — we keep the current list on the site, and it is worth working backwards from your event when planning any purchase that needs importing.

Regularly. Club sets, school programmes and squad orders get institutional pricing and we will spec the whole thing with you — including how many of each poundage you actually need, which is where most first-time club orders go wrong. Send us your numbers through this chat.
