Not many people in Singapore realise how increasingly popular archery in Singapore is becoming. There is the Archery Club of Singapore and even an association that supports all the budding new talents that want to make a name for themselves of the world stage. While we have not hit the bulls eye yet, interest has definitely been peaking and more and more people are picking up the sport. Singapore has a national team and we did send them to the Olympics, and various other sporting arena all over the world, with some measure of success.
It is a landmark that a country that has no history of hunting, no island wide support for archery was able to send representatives to major sporting events and even make a name for ourselves. For those who are interested in archery and are looking for archery stores in Singapore, there a places for you to go. At this time of the article, I can name two that I know of, which is the BroadHead Agency located in Bishan and the DM Archery Store located in Tampines. While there is not much literature about archery, the only form of it in Singapore is sporting archery, which means the type of equipment that you can find is probably going to be limited to that. The number of ranges and practice grounds that you can hone your skills are limited as well, which means that finding places can be quite restrictive. I know that the Archery Association of Singapore and Singapore Sports Academy have the necessary facilities that archers can use to practice.
The problem with this is booking and getting the time to practice, because they will be mostly utilised by the National Team of Singapore. Well, back to the topic at hand, archery stores in Singapore, with a visit, are found to be quite comprehensive in their offerings, and owners have said that improvement was because of the sports increased interest of late. They sell anything from arrows, shafts, bows for both adults and children, bow sights and even kits that allow you to build your own arrows and bows. The prices are pretty expensive, because where there is a demand, it is not enough to make them selling at a more affordable price realistic.
However, the price might go down as they will be more and more shops opening up and the interest fully takes hold within the years to come. Visiting an archery shop was like going back to a time beyond, a time where you hunted, rode on your horse and slept in your castle. It explained alot about the appeal of the sport to the people who take it so seriously and I felt that in time, with more exposure and as Singaporean archers manage to inch all the more closer to the red dot, more and more people will start to take note, the momentum will grow and more archery stores will open up in time to come.
