Archery
Australian Sports Commission
The forefront of elite training and competition facilities
The AIS Archery Centre was opened in 2003 and was purpose built for training and enhancing the performance of top-class archers.
The centre includes outdoor and indoor shooting as well as performance analysis facilities, a meeting room, offices, a workshop and storage facilities.
The outdoor range can accommodate up to 30 archers at distances of up to 90 metres, while the indoor range can allow 15 archers to train up to 30 metres. The indoor range also has facilities to create load crowd/background noise to allow the athletes to get use to noisy facilities and be able to prevent distraction.
In the cold winter months in Canberra, the facility also allows archers to shoot from a heated indoor area through open windows onto the outdoor range.
