Archery association
of zambia
Zambia has a rich history of archery as our athletes have competed in numerous international events with extraordinary success. Our association is committed to the growth and development of the sport we love.
What we do
archery clubs
One of AAZ’s primary roles is to promote archery clubs and the sport of archery throughout Zambia. With a steadily growing membership, AAZ is dedicated to expanding archery infrastructure and fostering achievement in collaboration with our members and their respective clubs.
safety
Archery has its origins as a weapon, which is why AAZ prioritizes safety by establishing minimum standards and recommended procedures to ensure a secure environment for all archery activities. Our goal is to educate archers on best safety practices, provide structured training sessions, and ensure that all clubs adhere to international safety guidelines.
Tournaments & Calendar
In partnership with our member clubs, AAZ has organized a national league. These tournaments not only provide a platform for competition but also foster camaraderie and skill development among participants. We extend our gratitude to the Lusaka and Mkushi Archery Clubs for their ongoing dedication, tireless efforts in organizing events, and passion for growing the sport in Zambia.
Training
In collaboration with the International Field Archery Association (IFAA), AAZ is actively investing in instructor courses to enhance the development of field archery in Zambia. AAZ is committed to fostering a culture of openness, responsibility and awareness within all Zambian archery clubs, ensuring a welcoming atmosphere for new members and making archery an enjoyable and risk-free sport.
our competitive league
AAZ proudly hosts a structured national competitive league, where archers from across Zambia compete in a series of tournaments throughout the year. This league provides a platform for archers of all skill levels to showcase their abilities, improve through structured competition, and gain national recognition.

To further improve skill levels and encourage participation, AAZ will be hosting a training clinic every three months. These clinics will be held at neutral venues, which will be announced in advance to ensure accessibility and maximize attendance. The training sessions will focus on fundamental techniques, safety protocols, and advanced skills for competitive archers. This initiative aims to create a structured learning environment where both beginners and experienced archers can refine their skills under expert guidance.
archery exercises
Archery is not just about precision and accuracy—it is a full-body exercise that enhances physical fitness, mental focus, and coordination. The sport requires strength in the upper body, particularly in the back, shoulders, and arms, as well as core stability for balance and control. Walking through field courses also improves endurance, while the repetitive motion of drawing and releasing the bow refines muscle memory and concentration. Regular archery practice contributes to overall well-being, making it a rewarding activity for both recreational and competitive archers.
accuracy & consistency
Accuracy and consistency are the cornerstones of success in archery. Precision in hitting the target requires not only sharp focus and proper technique but also repetition and muscle memory. Consistency in posture, draw strength, and release technique ensures that each shot is as accurate as the last. Through disciplined practice, archers develop a steady rhythm, allowing them to improve their performance under different conditions. Mastering these elements is essential for competitive archery, where even the smallest variation can determine the outcome of a match.
