ABOUT US
Archery is one of the oldest sports still practiced today, requiring physical and mental strength to execute each shot perfectly. We are a close-knit team that is always willing to welcome new members, regardless of age or experience. Come give Archery a shot today!
We hold trainings twice a week in Campus and Telok Blangah Archery Club (TBAC). We compete both indoors and outdoors, so this gives our archers the ability to train for all competitions, with distances ranging from 18m all the way to 70m.
