The club has already built their own targets and quivers, and has also acquired some equipment in the form of bows and arrows.
This is another step in Archery Guyana’s vision of developing the sport at the grass roots level beginning in the schools with the aim of discovering and encouraging athletes from the primary to the university level. Thereby ensuring the widest possible participation in its effort to find the best Archers to represent Guyana both regionally and Internationally, specifically at the Olympic games.

Archery Guyana is committed to providing the necessary training for instructors and certified coaches and judges, both junior and senior. With this in mind, Archery Guyana sees archery as an additional event at school sports; Inter-house, Inter-schools and Nationals, thereby fostering a competitive spirit among students and the camaraderie that archery is internationally known for.

Discussions were held between the Principal and Head Coach Nicholas Hing on the sport and its various forms, with the ultimate goal of Olympic recurve archery.

With the help of Archery Guyana’s archer/instructor Saeed Karim, Head Coach Nicholas Hing gave the scores of excited children (and their Headmistress), the chance to try out for the first time how to use the bow and arrow.

Qayyim Academy introduced to archery

On Thursday 3rd November, 2022 Archery Guyana, the governing body of Archery in Guyana and the sole entity affiliated to World Archery, the international governing body for the Olympic sport of archery, granted affiliate status to "PRO ARCHERS GUYANA". This is a part of Archery Guyana’s mandate as a national member association from World Archery to administer the sport at a local level.

Vidushi Persuad Secretary General and Nicholas Hing Director and Head Coach of Archery Guyana presented the official certificate of registration and affiliation of the Archery Club "Pro Archers Guyana" to Coaches Anand Mangra and Narda Mohamed-Mangra the founders of "ProArchers Guyana".

The Club was founded in October, 2020 and have since introduced Archery to persons across the length and breadth of Guyana. They currently train at the National Stadium, the National Racquet Centre and the Gandhi Youth Organsation (Woolford Avenue, Georgetown) on weekends and during the week.

Members of ProArchers Guyana will now access the substantial benefits of ARCHERY GUYANA being an affiliate club. Individual members may affiliate separately to Archery Guyana if their club does not wish to affiliate but as Secretary General of Archery Guyana, Mrs. Vidushi Persaud-McKinnon urged, "I encourage more clubs that have been recently formed to affiliate since this expands participation opportunities for club members".
